democracyCo is a leader in democratic reform in Australia

We support government, community and the private sector to reform together.

“In mid-2017 we decided to embark on our very first citizens’ jury, on a complex and politically sensitive topic – the reform of the Compulsory Third Party Insurance System. DemocracyCo was appointed to design, implement and facilitate an appropriate process. We found democracyCo to be a safe pair of hands. Emma and Emily deeply understood our objectives and were able to deliver on them in a way that was flexible and responsive to need. Overall, we found Emma and Emily to be intelligent and professional. We enjoyed working with them and would recommend them to other governments seeking to involve stakeholders and the community in complex reform.”
Anita Perkins, Executive Director, Communications & Engagement, Chief Minister, Treasury and Economic Development Directorate, ACT, 2018

What we do

Governments cannot achieve change alone.

Sustained change requires the support and combined action of communities, industry and government.

We use deliberative processes to engage and mobilise communities.

Who we are

There is no other organisation in Australia that’s holistically focused on assisting governments to achieve reform.

We are not a facilitation company, nor are we are PR/marketing company, we are not a market research/social research company nor are we academic researchers, however we utilise elements of all of these disciplines and approaches to support the work we do.
