South Australia’s Community Climate Process
In 2023, South Australia embarked on the biggest conversation that Australia has ever seen on Climate. We designed and delivered the process which you can read about here.
Wellbeing in Education

My Home Hospital

Shaping Unley / Unley Parking
The City of Unley wanted to develop an active participation framework – a structured, generic approach that the Council could use to engage the community on complex and polarising policy and city-wide issues. They then tested it – on a controversial issue!
SA Power Networks
SA Power Networks is the principal electricity distribution network service provider in South Australia – the poles and wires that deliver the power to homes and businesses. Every five years, SA Power Networks is required to undergo a regulatory reset process. We designed and delivered their People’s Panel.
Motor Accident Injury Insurance
All cars on Australian roads must have compulsory insurance (CTP). In the ACT, this insurance was expensive, coverage limited, and most claims needed to be settled in the courts. The government engaged us to help them deliver a citizens jury – which resulted in legislative change to the scheme.
Resilience Planning
During 2022 we worked with Regional Development Australia Murraylands & Roverland to deliver a region-wide engagement process with the community – to prepare the Regions’ plan for resilience.
City of Mitcham Deliberative panel
DemocracyCo worked with the City of Mitcham to bring the community together on a controversial topic – the development of a much loved community space.
