The International Association for Public Participation (IAP2) Australasia leads the national conversation on authentic community and stakeholder engagement. As the peak body for the community and stakeholder engagement sector, IAP2 Australasia, believes that engagement, when done well, improves social, environmental and economic outcomes and increases trust in the democratic process. We advocate for all communities to be authentically engaged in decisions that affect them through education and increasing awareness of authentic engagement and all its benefits, in alignment with the IAP2 Quality Assurance Standard for Community and Stakeholder Engagement. IAP2A offers training, education, resources and events for members and non-members. Discover more: https://iap2.org.au/
