Government data has begun to transform the lagging kindergarten system in Queensland’s Logan City.
Government data is transforming the lagging kindergarten system in Queensland’s Logan City, sparking calls for the release of more top-level data to help regional communities manage social issues and effectively direct funding.
Dr Michelle Lucas says government data gives communities the power to make practical and powerful decisions to help people.“We could suddenly see where the real problems were, where the money was being allocated, and obstacles for families,” Dr Michelle Lucas, executive director of community-led group Logan Together, said.
“This needs to change because not-for-profits are delivering billions of dollars of services on behalf of governments every year,” Ms Mansfield said.“The federal government needs to loosen the reins more and be willing to share more because communities want to manage for themselves. “Once people see how quickly they can make better decisions and then measure the effectiveness of the changes, they are very much on board.”While Logan not only boosted the number of children getting to kindergarten and directed funding to where it’s needed most, they also discovered the spots where midwifery services were missing.
