Strategic and Operational Support

Wesley LifeForce: Livingstone Living Well have been proud members of Wesley Lifeforce Suicide Prevention Network provided through Wesley Mission and have operated under an MOU since 2022. The Wesley LifeForce coordinators provide ongoing support and build strong connections between all the Queensland and interstate Wesley Suicide Prevention networks. They provide access to resources, shared ideas and free (government funded) training.

EVERY Child Central Queensland Inc. ECCQ provide financial auspicing support for Livingstone Living Well, and the relationship is guided by an MOU established in 2025. This support enabled the group to continue their community work and apply for, and receive, grants and donations. The partnership is founded on a mutual belief that "Every child and young person in Central Queensland is provided with the opportunity to reach their full potential".

Livingstone Living Well's History: From 2019 to June 2024, the group was supported by a Project Officer employed by Central Queensland Rural Health (now Rural Health Group), with funding from the Australian Government through the Primary Health Network. This strengthened community networks, supported the development of Action Plans and prioritised evidence-informed best practice. Since June 2024, the group has been independent, with no funded positions, and led by community member-volunteers.
