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.

"The day was very, very inspiring. We were able to make a real difference to our community partner: SMart, by delivering some really tangible benefits - including sourcing and mentoring admin support, developing a business plan to attract the right calibre of trustees and helping them to source office and gallery/storage space... It was a day of truly appreciating and celebrating life.”

"18 months into the graduate leadership development programme, and I can truly say it has been such a great experience. The activities we have undertaken have ranged from learning presentation skills, understanding your impact in a team, to having a lot of fun along the way with challenging activities, such as white water rafting and rock climbing. The external training we are fortunate enough to receive, as well as on-the-job training has helped me to build on my career."

Head of Public Affairs
Scottish & Newcastle
"The assignment has been so successful for both organisations that they are building upon the work already achieved for a sustainable, ongoing partnership for the future. The partnership with Turning Point is an important element of Scottish & Newcastle's approach to responsible drinking. This project provided an opportunity to practise the skills learnt in the workshops and has enabled our graduates to learn the realities and practicalities of working as a team."
