BEST Community Development is a not-for-profit organisation that provides
individualised, client focused services in employment, training, education, disability,
youth, and a range of community and business options.
By
providing a mix of government, non-government and self-funded programs, BEST
Community Development has supported communities in general, with a focus on disadvantaged
and marginalised sectors in particular.
As a quality
accredited organisation to AS/NZS ISO 9001:2008 standard, BEST Community
Development ensures that the resources needed to provide the community and
individuals with the required service, are implemented and maintained and that
continuous improvement is achieved in all areas of operation.
Our vision is to
stand out as a leading community development organisation by initiating and
supporting programs that enhance growth and contribution within our community.
Put simply, our
aim is to “enhance individuals and enrich
the community”.
Community Development

BEST
Community Development is committed to promoting the participation of
individuals and communities, particularly those traditionally marginalised and
excluded.
We
support building sustainable communities by:
- Recognising
and challenging barriers to full and effective participation
- Supporting
communities to gain skills to engage in participation
- Sharing good
practice in order to learn from each other
To
achieve this BEST Community Development works in partnership with Local, State
and Federal Government, businesses and other community groups to deliver short,
medium and long term projects that respond to specific community need.
In
addition, our ongoing community programs include YouthWorks for disengaged
youth, Interclub, a social club for people with a disability, and our sporting
club for people with a disability.
