Community Development

Adapted from School of Public Health and Community Medicine. Community development is a process where community members are supported by agencies to identify and take collective action on issues which are important to them.

Community development has an explicit focus on the redistribution of power to address the causes of inequality and disadvantage. Culled from aifs.gov.au
