Community & Stakeholder Engagement
IDENTIFYING SOLUTIONS AND WAYS FORWARD
Connect Consulting has specialist capacity to connect with diverse communities in a range of environments, from large infrastructure projects to projects which support organisations to build understanding and respond to change.
We design engagement processes that support the values of the International Association of Public Participation (IAP2) and tailor the right methodologies to respond to the environment, community and required outcomes.
“Donna is a rare find, personable and efficient. She has a world of knowledge and experience.”
Communities
We work with communities, in particular groups that are often excluded from engagement processes and provide them with the tools to be heard.
Connect Consulting have worked with a diverse range of groups including children and young people in disadvantaged communities and people who have experienced trauma. We ensure that government, organisations and communities are inclusive and respectful in their planning, development and service delivery.
Director Donna Bevan is a member of and an accredited facilitator with the International Association of Public Participation (IAP2) Australasian Chapters and leads IAP2 courses in Australia and New Zealand.
