Insights

Explore our reflections from our day-to-day interactions with communities, our program evaluations and research. In this Insights section, we share commentary, research and articles on the issues shaping remote, rural and regional communities. It’s a space for learning, listening and sparking new ideas – whether you're a changemaker, funder or simply curious about what communities are facing and capable of achieving.

You can use the categories to the right to explore particular topics. You’ll also find inspiring stories about some of the wonderful things community groups do with that funding. We also share a selection of media stories, where FRRR or a member of our staff has been featured. For any media enquiries, email Julie Weldon or call 0423 110 802.
