Achieving Our Mission Through Community Engagement
About
The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) is the principal adviser to the Commonwealth Government on the care and development of the Great Barrier Reef.
The GBRMPA wanted to improve their community engagement and encourage a culture of best practice. They needed an agreed framework of what working in partnership with the community meant in terms of behaviours and attitudes (both internal and external), tools and processes.
Impact Australia worked with GBRMPA to:
- Assess the current culture towards community engagement
- Facilitate a senior management workshop to work through the issues raised and develop future strategy
- Communicate a strategy for a culture change towards best practice community engagement
Following our intervention the GBRMPA benefited from a common vision highlighting what community engagement means for their business.

"Our experience has been extremely effective for both professional and personal development. For all the participants, it was a 'rediscovery' process as colleagues. Impact facilitated the sessions with a professional and enthusiastic approach. Our team was stretched and challenged physically and emotionally. In module two, it was great to demonstrate what team and inclusion stand for - no prejudice and much personal learning. We are committed to go forward. Thank you for this fantastic experience!"

Right from the start we saw changes in behaviour right through the organisation. There is a great energy and recognition of the need to develop people skills. Managers understand the requirement for coaching rather than dictating, and looking at what they are trying to achieve rather than taking a command and control outlook
