Downer
Downer was named as preferred supplier to deliver the $7 billion program
i-exchange led the development of Government Policy Strategy for Downer and Consortium partners including the Social Enterprise Strategy, Local Industry Strategy and Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Participation Strategy. The work included facilitating local manufacturing forums across Queensland and the Northern Territory to identify and engage new supply chain partners and social enterprise to participate in the project.
6 Feb 2023 - Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk today announced Downer was the preferred supplier to build and deliver 65 next generation trains as part of the Queensland Train Manufacturing Program. Downer will build 65 new six-car trains and associated infrastructure, creating up to 3000 jobs in construction and manufacturing across Queensland.
“The proposal put forward by Downer offered strong value for money, leading-edge accessibility and a modern design, whilst delivering maximum benefit to the region and to our great state” Mr Bailey (Minister for Transport and Main Roads) said. https://statements.qld.gov.au/statements/97120
Women's Health Business Case
Womens Health NSW
Our work resulted in the sector's first real funding increase since 1986
In 2022, i-exchange was engaged by Women’s Health NSW to prepare a Business Case for a 100% funding increase for presentation to the NSW Minister for Health.
The project required extensive research, consultation and collaborative work with the 20 independent Women’s Health Centre organisations across NSW. i-exchange facilitated workshops with Women’s Health CEOs and Senior Managers to develop the first ever full cost financial model for the sector, an analysis of social value and presentation of the evidence-base for the holistic service model.
Following review of the Business Case, the NSW Labor Party announced a doubling of funding for NSW Women’s Health Centres as a key part of their 2023 election platform. The real funding increase – the sector’s first since 1986 – was delivered in the 2023-24 NSW Budget.
