About the Section
The Stakeholder Engagement section was established following a recent restructure of the communications function to strengthen the agency’s external-facing capabilities and deepen stakeholder insight and impact. The section comprises four integrated teams:
- Contact Centre
- Media
- Events and Conferences
- Stakeholder Engagement
As the agency’s primary front door for external enquiries and engagements, the section models a professional, informed and service oriented approach. It works collaboratively and with a solutions mindset to address complex issues, provide clear guidance and create positive stakeholder experiences.
Partnering closely with the Communications section and the broader agency, the Stakeholder Engagement section designs and delivers informed, thoughtful, strategic and contemporary engagement opportunities.
Our focus is on high quality interactions and measurable outcomes that support the achievement of agency priorities and strengthen trust with our stakeholders.
The section oversees engagements that inform stakeholders about current programs with the potential future possibility of creating meaningful two way dialogue. It establishes a whole of section intelligence capability to systematically collect, analyse and share insights from all teams, building a clear view of the external landscape that influences the agency’s work. Using this evidence, it adds value by providing strategic direction, evidence based advice on opportunities, risks and stakeholder impacts.
