Our story began on Worimi land on the NSW Mid North Coast in 1987.

We were set up as a community development organisation, Great Lakes Community Resources, to provide training and employment opportunities for local people experiencing disadvantage. Over the subsequent years our impact has widened, and our communities have thrived.

Since 2017 we have operated as Community Resources. We now run some of the largest social enterprises in the country and deliver a range of community services. In FY25, we gave employment opportunities to 960 people across New South Wales, Queensland,Victoria, Western Australia, the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory.

Thank you for supporting us.
