Vision & values
The power of collective knowledge and authenticity.
At the heart of everything we do is a belief that better decisions are made when people work together.
That’s why every project we take on – whether it’s a strategic plan, community consultation, or training program – is built on clarity, respect, and participation.
We focus on:
- Clear communication that makes complex topics accessible
- Tailored approaches designed for your specific context and goals
- Respecting the knowledge already in the room
- Practical outcomes that teams can implement and measure
Our approach is collaborative and strengths-based – we listen first, build on what’s already working, and design solutions that empower people to keep making progress long after the workshop ends.
Our vision
A world where people use collaboration and collective knowledge to achieve better outcomes.
Our Mission
To harness the power of collaboration and create positive change.
Our Values
All of us are smarter
than any of us
The power of collective knowledge can create solutions that move us all forward.
Authenticity: be yourself
We believe in authenticity. When we act like ourselves, we succeed.
A strengths-based approach
We meet people where they are and build on the strengths they already have.
Statement of Reconciliation
Create and Evaluate acknowledges the historical, intergenerational, and continuing injustices that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have faced since colonisation.
We also acknowledge the strength and resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and their thousands of years of connection to Land and Sea Country that continues today.
We recognise the right of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to self-determination and we are committed to working in solidarity through respectful relationships, genuine two-way listening, and culturally safe practices. We honour the leadership and vision of First Nations peoples and share their hopes for a future built on mutual respect and understanding.
Create and Evaluate commits to:
- Seeking opportunities to work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses as partners, subcontractors, and suppliers.
- Continually improving our understanding of cultural safety through training, self-reflection, relationship-building, and listening.
- Beginning every facilitation and training session with an Acknowledgement of Country, explaining its purpose where appropriate to foster understanding and reduce tokenism.
- Using culturally appropriate and trauma-informed methods in all facilitation, evaluation and training.
Create and Evaluate respectfully acknowledges the Wulgurukaba people of Gurambilbarra (Townsville) and Yunbenun (Magnetic Island), and the Bindal people, Traditional Owners of the land on which we live and work. We pay our respects to their Elders, past and present.

Commitment to Inclusion
Create and Evaluate is committed to creating safe, welcoming, and inclusive spaces for everyone, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or expression.
We value the strength that diversity brings to workplaces, communities, and conversations, and ensure that inclusion is embedded in everything we do.
To deliver on this commitment, Create and Evaluate:
- Creates safe and inclusive environments at every facilitation and training session.
- Respects people’s names and pronouns.
- Recognises and addresses barriers faced by LGBTIQA+ people in program evaluation, community consultation, and other areas we work in.
- Designs our approaches in a way that encourages participation and representation.
