SERVICES
Let’s work together and get creative about growing wellbeing
Are you growing Australian wellbeing through culture, creativity and community?
We’re here for you! Our offering for 2026 to 2028 includes:
Research related to Australians’ wellbeing needs, interests and values
Evaluation of projects and programs related to social health, creative wellbeing and community connection
Working with charities, cultural institutions and government agencies to support meaningful audience connection and creative wellbeing.
Projects
We work on a fixed-fee consultancy basis to support creative wellbeing initiatives. This includes:
Audience Research to inform wellbeing strategies and creative health programs
Program Evaluation to measure the effectiveness of interventions and inform future program decisions.
Unfortunately, our team is in high demand and we have limited capacity for projects outside this area. If you’re unsure, just get in touch with us at info@thepatternmakers.com.au.
If we can’t support your project, we’re happy to share recommendations for alternative consultants.
Speaking, training and professional development
We love bringing people and evidence together to unlock insights and build momentum for change. This includes:
Speaking engagements, from keynotes to conference breakout sessions, to ground your event in solid research and systems thinking
Workshops and roundtables, where we facilitate rather than lecture, so the people in the room tap into their collective knowledge and shape the outcome together
Retreats, for teams or networks who need a proper stretch of time away from the inbox to think things through together
Research briefings on the latest thinking in culture, creativity and community
Training to build your team's confidence in research, evaluation and data analysis, tailored to your context.
Every session is adapted to suit your organisation and the people in the room, so it's genuinely useful. Get in touch to discuss the options: info@thepatternmakers.com.au
Initiatives
We offer long-term initiatives to support systemic change.
Growing Together is an audience development program for networks of arts organisations. Instead of one-off campaigns, participants take small, regular actions together, working through a mix of workshops, table-group activities and check-ins that build the rituals and relationships behind long-term audience connection and community wellbeing.
It's designed for peak bodies, funding programs and regional networks who are past the stage of needing more data, and ready to bring people together, in a room or on a screen, to actually use the evidence they've already got.
Culture Panel
Did you know we have a dedicated platform for research related to arts, culture and community? It brings participants and decision-makers together around important topics.
If you’re planning research, and need to reach real audiences quickly, rather than relying on a generic public panel, the Culture Panel connects you directly to people who already care about the sector, whether that's for a single survey or a longitudinal cohort study tracking change over several years.
It's less a data source than a relationship: we can advise on sample design and survey delivery, and where it helps, bring panel members into a roundtable or focus group so their voice shapes the findings directly, not just the numbers behind them.
