Streetwize Communications is a leading national not for profit social communications agency specialising in researching and communicating social issues to young people, Indigenous communities and people of a culturally and linguistically diverse background and other hard to reach groups. Since 1984 Streetwize has been developing comics and resources on a range of issues including health, education, employment, the law and Indigenous-specific issues. The strength of the Streetwize approach lies in the ability to reach a diverse range of communities, particularly those disadvantaged in their access to mainstream sources of information.

For over 20 years Streetwize has been producing entertaining, relevant and accessible publications on issues such as the law, health, employment, drug and alcohol, violence and Indigenous specific issues.

Thousands of people access these and other Streetwize resources through an established national distribution network of youth, community, educational, justice and Indigenous organisations.

At the core of our success is the Streetwize Process - a unique proven research method involving in depth consultation with the target group at each stage of research and development.

Through this process, Streetwize has developed a wide range of products for clients including comics, animation, websites, videos, educators kits, CD ROMS and other publications. We also provide stand alone services in qualitative research, training workshops and distribution services.

With no core funding, Streetwize is dedicated to developing strategic partnerships within the government, community and corporate sectors in order to deliver meaningful messages to specific social groups throughout Australia.
