Don’t leave advocacy up to chance

 

Gaining public government support for a cause, project, or decision is not easy. It requires careful strategic planning, targeted and persuasive communication, and network building to have a chance at success. 

For businesses that don’t have internal expertise and existing networks, it can be incredibly hard just to get a foot in the door.  

Banksia empowers organisations with a positive social impact agenda to successfully achieve government action, backing, or buy-in by leveraging our vast experience in strategic communications and campaigning to help deliver the right message to the right person at the right time.

End-to-end advocacy and government engagement support

 

We’ll provide more than just an introduction. We’ll help you plan, prepare, deliver and drive home your message to the people that matter. 

The Banksia team has over a decade of experience in campaign and advocacy work and is largely made up of former political advisors. Having been on the other side of the desk, we know which strategies do and do not work and what it takes to move decision-makers to action.

Our government relations strategy is informed by our first-hand experience and industry best practices in the space.

Upon broadly gauging your objectives, we will execute a plan that informs your advocacy strategies. Key activities may include:

  • Defining objectives
  • Assessing current landscape
  • Tailoring an approach
  • Training your team
  • Post-engagement support

From major private companies to Not-for-Profits, we’ve successfully helped organisations who have a positive social impact agenda win government buy-in on a range of causes.

The Banksia team are registered lobbyists in all Australian states and territories and are recognised by the Australian Federal Government as a registered organisation bound by the Lobbying Code of Conduct.
