Consultation + engagement processes
We believe that genuine, appropriate, and effective stakeholder engagement is crucial for the success of policies and programs. We regularly run consultation and engagement processes to inform the development of policy, as well as for service reviews and evaluations.
This can involve:
- One on one interviews
- Focus groups
- Co-design processes
We are committed to ensuring that stakeholder engagement is inclusive and safe. We have experience engaging with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, culturally and linguistically diverse people, and vulnerable populations; and often partner with cultural and subject matter experts to ensure engagement is thoughtful and appropriate.
