Beyond the Meeting: Strategic Government Engagement for the Youth Sector is a practical, insight-driven workshop focused on how youth organisations can engage government strategically to strengthen their impact, positioning and outcomes.

Many small to mid-sized youth organisations don’t have dedicated policy or government relations capacity – yet are expected to navigate increasingly complex government systems and funding environments.

At the start of a new political term, there is a critical window to build relationships, shape priorities, and position your organisation effectively.

What we'll cover

Understanding the post-election landscape
What changes after an election – and where the real opportunities sit
Positioning your organisation effectively
Aligning your work with government priorities and speaking their language
Who to engage – and how
Navigating ministers, advisors and departments with confidence
Building relationships that last
Moving beyond one-off meetings to ongoing, trusted connections
Turning engagement into outcomes
Translating conversations into tangible results for your organisation and the young people you serve

Additional insights

When to engage – and when to hold back
How to avoid being seen as ‘just another stakeholder’
The role of collective advocacy vs individual organisational asks
How to work effectively within the broader youth and community sector ecosystem
