Work with Purpose: A podcast about the Australian Public Sector EP#42: Respecting Indigenous Communications
When it comes to communicating with Indigenous communities, Government needs to be tailored in its approach to ensure messages are clearly relayed and understood. Effective communication, however, is not a one-way street and cannot rely on words alone. Culturally respectful, trust-based relationships, built over time are imperative to ensure every voice is heard, and Indigenous Australians own the decisions and policies that affect their lives and livelihoods.
In this episode we are joined by the National Indigenous Australians Agency’s Chief Executive Officer, Ray Griggs AO CSC, and Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Operations and Delivery, Letitia Hope, and Justine O’Brien SCMP, President of the International Association of Business Communicators in Canberra.
Discussed in this episode:
- Engaging and connecting with Indigenous audiences.
- Cadence of partnerships and place-based relationships.
- Government as an enabler.
- Importance of all public servants recognising the impact they can have in their Agency.
