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.

"When they finished, I had a different bunch of people in front of me. There was a real sense of connection, a real sense of belonging; there was an incredible amount of ownership, and I get goosebumps just talking about it."

“The Hogan assessment was of great benefit; it opened a new set of conversations with my leader and my team that has been improving my ability to be an effective leader. I also found where I needed to change the conversation in my personal relationships as well, becoming a better spouse, parent, and friend. Overall, I’m deeply honored I had the opportunity to be a part of such a great cohort and a well-designed, thoughtful programme."
