Community engagement	You have a community leader so they spread it throughout the community where they come and they just have conversations and then you're able to get external presenters to come in and talk about the types of services. (S14)
	I find that playgroup at the park's really good. Playgroup at the park, it's the best for any services that want to do playgroup because you're open to the community, we put signs up. And that's when you can approach the community to say, come on down, you can bring your kids along and have a little play, we're free. So that's how we get most of our families, especially at the park. We get about 40 families a week. (S12)
Referral pathway	I think with some of our families, it's that actual you know, going to the doctor, getting a referral and then making that appointment and then going there.
