Office Hours: How do we create conditions for diverse voices to participate in and debate new policies?

How do we create conditions for diverse voices to participate in and debate new policies?

How can we be better at including the perspectives of those who will be most impacted by a policy?

In this edition of Office Hours, our Strategy and Innovation Principal Hannah will host a conversation on how we can bring wide-ranging groups together to collectively define policies and strategies that honour diverse voices.

We'll be joined by some guest speakers who will discuss their shared experiences working on co-designing Victoria's biosecurity statement with Traditional Owners, farmers, government agencies, environmental interest groups and individual residents across Victorian communities.

We're proud to announce that the Victorian Biosecurity Statement has been awarded a winner accolade in the Design Strategy category at the Good Design Awards, 2023.

Who should attend?

This conversation is best for public sector and government workers, and leaders and teams who are actively involved in broader system-change work that has the potential to impact a large number of people.
