More information

The purpose of Engaging Queenslanders: A guide to community engagement methods and techniques is to bring together introductory information on a range of traditional and innovative techniques. It is intended to assist public sector employees and other practitioners to choose the most appropriate community engagement processes.

No single engagement technique will suit every issue. Using more than one technique in an engagement activity may provide the opportunity for government to reach beyond its usual stakeholders and to increase representation and participation.

This guide gives information on:

• choosing engagement techniques
• information sharing and consultation
• active participation techniques
• providing feedback
• evaluation
