Strategic use of Public Policy
Government policy is less single-sector focussed and captured by client groups than ever before.
Whole-of-Government seeks to integrate;
- energy futures
- resource use
- transport
- education
- sustainable environment
- rural issues
to create a complex policy and regulation framework.
This means policy direction can be difficult to influence from a single point or perspective.
We have wide experience in tracking and shaping policy design and advising clients on how to use public interest approaches to influence initiatives for new policies or change policies adversely affecting their interests.
PEAA also dissects policy from a media perspective and assesses its robustness to criticism. Our team's experience includes preparation of significant analyses of policy and programs and consideration of alternatives, a process frequently involving consultation with interest groups.
Our value to clients is built around the following industry segments;
- infrastructure
- urban and regional development
- sustainable transport
- natural resource management
- greenhouse and agriculture
- telecommunications
- corporate social responsibility
- trade policy including Free Trade Agreements and WTO issues
- defence
Consultancy leader, Philip Eliason, has worked on public policy development within the Federal Government, for industry groups and the corporate sector.
