What will you do in the role?
Undertake effective engagement and co-design with people with disability, families/carers, and other key stakeholders to inform Queensland's disability reform implementation.
Undertake analysis, anticipate and identify policy issues, and report on trends of engagement and policy reform work across multiple intersecting content or thematic areas.
Deliver on activities to implement the Stakeholder Engagement and Co-design strategy which includes engagement and leading facilitation, co-design with diverse stakeholders to inform the design of policy, programs, and legislation.
Provide thematic analysis and translation of engagement activities to produce comprehensive reports, briefings, publications, and communication material that incorporates feedback from the activities as part of the Stakeholder Engagement and Co-Design Strategy.
Establish and maintain strong and effective working relationships with people with disability, families, carers, peak organisations, advocacy and disability community organisations, and Government departments to deliver on the strategy and the disability reforms.
Lead the day-to-day functions of the Queensland Stakeholder Engagement and Co-Design Strategy workplan including prioritising workflow, staff supervision, and reporting requirements.
Contribute to the capacity building of people with disability and families/carers and workshop content and frameworks to enable them to participate meaningfully in engagement and co-design processes.
Coordinate the work of project delivery partners to deliver on project outputs and outcomes.
