We believe that the best ideas come from those who understand the challenges and needs firsthand. Whether you’ve been involved with caba before or are new to the conversation, we’d love to hear from you.

Insight Community

"Overall the experience has been very good. I have only a positive experience here so more of the same."

"caba is genuinely open to listening to and acting on the feedback that stakeholders give."

"I have attended one of these and enjoyed the experience."

The name is new, but the purpose is the same: a space to share, influence, and help us create support that’s relevant and responsive to you.

what you need to know

what is the insight community and the purpose?

The Insight Community is a revamped and improved version of our former Research Panel, created to ensure that caba’s work genuinely reflects the needs of our clients especially those facing hardship or health challenges. This community gives members the opportunity to share their insights, experiences, and challenges directly with us, so that we can design services and communications that are relevant, effective, and truly impactful.

You can take part as much or as little as you like. Whether you’ve got 5 minutes or 50, your insights will help shape services that really make a difference for people facing hardship or health challenges. Plus, we’ll do our best to make it interesting and even a little fun!
