Collaboration Beyond Borders Program
Achieve more together!
At LG Professionals WA, we believe that together, we go further. That's why we're proud to offer our Collaboration Beyond Borders program exclusively to Local Government Subscribers.
This complimentary program brings together less resourced local governments with larger, more resourced counterparts, creating meaningful partnerships that foster two-way learning, professional development, and shared success.
Through this program:
- Smaller local governments gain valuable support and insights from experienced professionals to help with day-to-day operations.
- Larger local governments provide their staff with unique, on-the-ground development opportunities in regional settings that build skills, perspective, and impact.
Collaboration Beyond Borders is all about sharing knowledge and support - wherever it's needed. It's not just about smaller local governments reaching out to larger ones. Sometimes, it's a specific team or department within a larger organisation that's tackling a niche challenge and could really benefit from the experience of a smaller or regional local government. We encourage you to think creatively about the types of help that could be offered or requested - whether it's advice on a specialised topic, a fresh perspective, or a tried-and-tested approach that's worked elsewhere.
Mutual Benefits
This program is a two-way street - both local governments can benefit. Whether you're offering support or receiving it, there's value on both sides. Staff involved in the exchange often gain new skills, fresh insights, and professional growth simply through guiding and learning from one another. It's a great way to build confidence, share expertise, and strengthen connections across the sector.
Designed with busy teams in mind
We know time is precious, which is why Collaboration Beyond borders is designed to be flexible and easy to engage with. Support can be offered in ways that work for you, whether it's a quick phone call, a few emails, or a virtual meeting. There's no need to travel, and every interaction still makes a meaningful difference.
Even better, this is an ongoing benefit available each financial year. That means your local government can apply more than once, depending on the need, maybe one team is looking for guidance on digital archiving, while another could use support with cyber security. Whatever the challenge, there's likely someone out there who's navigated it before and is happy to share what they've learned.
Collaboration Beyond Borders is all about breaking down geographical barriers, strengthening sector capability, and building a more sustainable future for local government in WA.
LG Professionals WA is well placed to lead this program - partnering local governments together under a mutually beneficial understanding and arrangement.
