“预防之路”是一个早期预防项目，以发展系统理论为基础，在布里斯班一个社会处境不利的地区通过学校-社区机构-大学的伙伴关系运作。护理圈是一个途径方案，也由同一机构在一个区域城市小规模实施。“圈子”方案旨在加强学校、家庭和社区服务之间的联系，并通过将有明确需求的儿童与一个支持性的成年人团体联系在一起，协调这些环境中的活动。一个至少包括儿童、家长、教师和机构工作人员的圈子，为儿童、家庭和学校设定目标，调动资源，并监督进展。服务对象的概念不是儿童，而是一个功能失调的发展系统，最终目标是为儿童提供更好的结果。在这两个地点进行的定性评价表明，虽然“圈子”在实际支助和建立关系方面运作良好，确实取得了良好的儿童成果，但其实现协作做法和加强系统关系的能力受到根深蒂固的组织结构和文化的限制。然而，有一个网站更多地支持跨组织协作，它认为，如果有组织改革的远见和领导力，在更大的范围内可以实现系统协调。
Pathways to Prevention is an early prevention project founded on developmental systems theory operating through a schools-community agency-university partnership in a socially disadvantaged area of Brisbane. Circles of Care is a Pathways programme also implemented on a small scale by the same agency in a regional city. The Circles programme is designed to strengthen connections between schools, families and community services, and harmonize activities in these settings by surrounding children with identified needs with a supportive group of adults. A Circle, which includes at least the child, parent(s), teacher and agency staff, sets goals, mobilizes resources for the child, family and school, and monitors progress. The client is conceptualized not as the child but as a dysfunctional developmental system, with better outcomes for children as the ultimate goal. Qualitative evaluation at the two sites showed that while Circles worked well at the level of practical support and relationship building and did achieve good child outcomes, its capacity to achieve collaborative practice and strengthen system relations was limited by entrenched organizational structures and cultures. However, one site, with more support for collaboration across organizational boundaries, suggested that system alignment is achievable on a larger scale with vision and leadership for organizational reform.
