AuSAE Webinar: How we turned our advocacy from invisible to influential

How we turned our advocacy from invisible to influential

Many associations know they should be doing more advocacy but struggle to translate good intentions into consistent, credible influence. Building a government relations strategy from scratch — identifying priorities, establishing relationships, developing a policy voice, and mobilising members — takes time, resources, and organisational courage. In this session, Graham Catt from Independent Schools Australia walks through exactly how they did it: the starting point, the missteps, the moments that worked, and what they would do differently.

What you'll gain from the session
This session unpacks what effective advocacy really looks like in practice.

• A detailed 25–30 walkthrough of a real advocacy journey
• Practical insights into government engagement: who was approached, how the message was framed, and what made it resonate
• A candid reflection on what didn’t work, and the lessons associations can take from it
• A 30 minute interactive Q&A, giving you the chance to test how these approaches could translate to your own sector and priorities
