Slinky listens to you and your community, tells the stories that matter to you, connects you to existing social and economic infrastructure, helps you to achieve.
You know what's not working — in your health system, your school, your community. You've lived it. We help you tell that story in a way that reaches the people who can actually change things. And we connect you to solutions that already exist but nobody told you about.
You've waited months for a specialist. You've been bounced between GPs who can't help and systems that don't talk to each other. We tell those stories — and we find the pathways that actually work, so other people don't have to fight the same fight alone.
Your community knows what's happening to the land, the water, the coast. We help you document it, share it, and connect it to the people and organisations who can act on what you already see.
Your kids' school is understaffed. The TAFE course you need doesn't run locally anymore. We tell those stories because when enough people share the same experience, it stops being a personal problem and starts being a public one.
You're working full-time and still falling behind. That's not a failure of effort — it's a failure of systems. We help communities name what's broken, find what's working elsewhere, and make sure the right people hear it.
Slinky is an independent media and content organisation built by journalists. We work with individuals and communities to tell the stories that systems ignore — and we make sure those stories land where they can create real change.
If you're a nurse who sees patients falling through gaps every shift, a physio who knows a better pathway exists but can't get anyone to listen, a parent who's spent months navigating a system that feels designed to exhaust you — we want to hear from you. Your experience isn't just a story. It's evidence. And we know how to make it count.
The solutions usually already exist. The problem is that nobody's connecting the people who need them to the people who have them. That's what Slinky does.
We also work with organisations, health professionals, educators, and businesses who see what's broken from the inside and want to do something about it. You bring what you know. We turn it into content that reaches the right people — decision-makers, communities, media — and drives real outcomes.
You've lived it. You know what's not working. We help you tell that story — on camera, in writing, in audio — in a way that's powerful, protected, and impossible to ignore.
Nurses, physios, psychologists, teachers, social workers — you see the gaps every day. We give you a platform to share what you know, without the red tape or the risk. Your expertise deserves to be heard.
Community groups, NFPs, health services, councils — if you're doing good work and struggling to get the word out, we can help. We produce content that connects what you do to the people who need it.
We come to you. We listen first. We don't arrive with a script or an agenda — we arrive with a microphone, a camera, and the skills to turn what your community already knows into something that moves the needle.
We've worked in national newsrooms, international broadcasting, and regional reporting. We know how to make stories that cut through — and we know how to protect the people who trust us with theirs.
Short films, interviews, mini-documentaries — we capture real people telling real stories, then we make sure those stories reach the audiences that matter. From a 60-second social clip to a 25-minute documentary, we produce it all.
Sometimes the most powerful thing is just letting someone talk. We record, edit, and distribute audio stories and long-form conversations — the kind that make people pull over the car to keep listening.
Long reads, newsletters, investigative features. When something's broken in a community, we dig into why, and we write it up in a way that's clear, honest, and hard to look away from.
We show up with microphones and notebooks, not clipboards. We run community conversations that help people connect their individual experience to the bigger picture — and find other people on the same road.
One conversation with you can become a video, a podcast episode, a written piece, social content, and a newsletter story. We don't ask for your time twice — we make one session go further than you'd expect.
We don't just make content and hope for the best. We know how to get stories in front of decision-makers, media outlets, and the communities who need to hear them. That's twenty years of newsroom relationships at work.
These are the two big things we're building right now — one for artists and public figures, one for everyone navigating a system that wasn't built for them.
N.A.I.L brings artists and public figures to a place of significance — a landscape that holds them, removes the noise, and gives them time — with an embedded production team to capture what genuinely emerges.
Each residency follows a clear arc: the Naming Ceremony, free creative time with Slinky embedded fly-on-the-wall, a public exhibition, a live community event, and a 15–25 minute micro-documentary distributed nationally and internationally.
N.A.I.L is cross-disciplinary by design — visual artists, musicians, writers, performers, and anyone whose inner life sits at significant distance from their public identity.
If you've ever spent months trying to get the right referral, fighting with Centrelink, or explaining your situation for the tenth time to someone who still doesn't get it — this is for you. Find Your People tells the stories of people navigating systems that weren't built to help them.
We don't just tell your story and move on. We connect you to other people who've walked the same path, professionals who understand what you're going through, and communities that are working on the same problems. Every story becomes a bridge to someone else.
If you're a health professional, a social worker, a community worker who sees these gaps every day — we want to hear from you too. Your knowledge can help someone right now.
We don't turn up with a camera and a deadline. We turn up with questions, and we take our time.
We come to you — your community, your workplace, your kitchen table. No script, no assumptions. We listen to what matters to you before anything else happens.
Your experience isn't isolated. We look at what others are going through, what the evidence says, and where the system is breaking down. We connect the dots so your story carries real weight.
Video, audio, written — whatever format tells your story best. We produce it with you, not about you. You see it before anyone else does. Your story stays yours.
We don't just publish and walk away. We put your story in front of the people who can do something about it — media, decision-makers, other communities, professionals who need to hear it.
You don't need to be a writer or a public speaker. You just need to be honest about what you've been through. We'll do the rest — record it, shape it, protect it, and make sure it lands where it matters.
