Welcome to Springboard Social Planning

We are a consulting firm based in Ashwood in the Eastern Metropolitan Region of Melbourne that has completed state wide projects, has worked extensively in the Southern Metropolitan Region and also in the North Western Metropolitan Region. We are committed to the principles of human rights and adopt a participatory approach in our work. Our intention here is to enhance the potential of stakeholders to build on their strengths and assets in order reduce their levels of vulnerability.

Thus since inception in 2005, we have provided opportunities for all relevant stakeholder groups to contribute to decision-making. This decision-making has addressed vulnerabilities within postcodes, local government areas, regions and across the State of Victoria.

Springboard Social Planning, managed by Margaret Clausen, is an unincorporated entity, which works collaboratively with partners drawn from a mix of research and professional backgrounds and with diverse and strong experience in the social research and public health sectors.
