About CTM Links

CTM LINKS is a not-for-profit organisation that plays an important role in strengthening connections and generating social wellbeing across our local community. 

Kath and the team work tirelessly to create a warm, welcoming and inclusive community, and nurture this top little town we call home. Their key areas of focus include:

• Social cohesion – working with individuals, families, community, sporting and social groups to present or support a variety of events, projects and initiatives for people to connect and engage with each other and the broader community. 

• Conduit to support services – connecting members of the community to social, local and government services.

• Connection to networks – establishing and maintaining a strong network of connections with local governments, local resource industries, emergency services, local businesses, human service sectors, schools and other groups in order to provide the community of Tieri with relevant, timely information and connections.

• Community support – providing trusted, confidential and practical community support including, but not limited to:
– Printing, scanning and uploading of documents
– Assistance with applications, documentation and forms
– Internet connection for community members to access websites relating to government services, social services, study and employment opportunities
– Emergency financial relief
– Delivering a series of valuable, relevant community activities, programs, projects and events.

The work of CTM LINKS doesn’t stop there. They also collect all types of donations, welcome newcomers to town, and facilitate volunteering opportunities within Tieri and surrounding areas.

“We’re currently seeking community members who might be interested in volunteering to join our organisation,” says Kath. “We always love people who bring new energy into CTM LINKS to complement what we already have.”

The volunteer Executive Management Committee governs CTM LINKS and, as such, sets the strategic goals and direction for the organisation. 

CTM LINKS receives recurrent funding from one primary source: Queensland Government through the Department of Communities, Child Safety and Disability Services. This funding enables the employment and professional development of three Community Development Officers and an Administration Officer who perform community development duties and manage the daily operations of the neighbourhood centres of Tieri, Capella and Middlemount on behalf of the Executive Management Committee. 

The many events, activities and programs that are run by CTM LINKS are sourced and funded through a wide range of available grants.
