Stakeholder, Government & Intergovernmental Engagement
Stakeholder, Government and Intergovernmental Engagement refers to the strategic planning and management of relationships between organisations and the various levels of government and key decision makers that influence policy, regulation, funding and approvals.
This involves identifying relevant stakeholders across Commonwealth, state or territory and local governments, including:
- ministers
- departments
- regulators
- agencies
- statutory authorities
The advisory process considers the political environment, policy priorities and institutional structures that shape decision-making, ensuring engagement efforts are targeted, credible and aligned with government processes.
In many policy areas, responsibilities and funding are shared across jurisdictions, creating complex intergovernmental dynamics. Effective engagement strategies must therefore account for these overlapping responsibilities and ensure messaging, advocacy and stakeholder interactions remain consistent across different levels of government and administrative bodies.
