Navigate Logan's First 2000 Days Model
What is Logan's First 2000 Days Model?
Logan’s First 2000 Days Model identifies 5 evidence-based initiatives, and 5 enablers of systems change that support the critical early years of a child’s life. By intentionally stacking and connecting these initiatives and enablers, we can create an early childhood development system that is accessible to all children – generating and amplifying life-changing impact.
The community co-designed First 2000 Days Model helps bring the outcomes and impacts identified in our Collective Plan to life. Our Roadmap then describes the indicators that show whether we are making progress in line with our shared vision.

Workforce Development
Building a connected, capable and community-informed workforce for Logan’s children and families.
What is Workforce Development?
Workforce development is a coordinated, cross-sector effort to build the capacity, skills and sustainability of the people and organisations needed to achieve Logan Together’s big goal and enables the initiatives in Logan’s First 2000 Days Model.
Logan Together directly coordinates workforce development through provision of training opportunities and providing a container for partners and community to come together to share best practice, co-design solutions and engage in two-way learning.
It goes beyond training individuals or strengthening a single organisation, focusing on shaping a system-wide workforce that can collectively deliver on Logan’s Collective Plan.
The Logan Together ‘Ingredients for Impactful Service Delivery’ provides a set of community-identified conditions which increase participation and inclusion within services and offer insights into the elements of workforce development that matter most to our community.
The impact of Workforce Development
