Online Consultation
Online consultation reinforces and complements traditional consultation methods and provides more ways for agencies to seek feedback from and engage with the public. It may be used as part of formal submissions or policy development processes, or integrated into business-as-usual activities as another way of gathering feedback and engaging with the public online.
Social Media
The development and uptake of Web 2.0 tools by Australians allows public servants an opportunity to increase transparency and accountability in consultation and decision making. The Australian Government can now use this opportunity to engage in conversations with a wider number of citizens and businesses than ever before.
