A series of loose circular lines across three levels, showing interconnecting points. The top layer represents the intervention context; the middle layer represents systems level portfolios like housing, energy; the bottom layer represents the investment portfolio with dotted lines connecting multiple points in the investment portfolio up to different areas of multiple systems portfolios and into different parts of the intervention context.

A graphic that asks ‘what if care economies really cared’. It represents the care economy as encompasing aged care, health care, social care + welfare, child care and caring for Country. It imagines better future systems related to Infrastructure, Investment, Value creation and Workforce. It asks us to imagine things like ‘what if we were to account for the social value created through a thriving care economy across generations?’
