An independent consultation review
The Consultation Check gives Australian organisations a clear, independent view of what is working, what is missing and what to improve before public engagement goes live.
Practical clarity
Independent feedback you can turn into better engagement.
What to expect
A fresh perspective focused on the quality and credibility of the consultation itself.
Findings are written for action, with clear priorities rather than unnecessary jargon.
Recommendations reflect your audience, project stage, constraints and decision pathway.
The Consultation Check
Public Lens reviews the full consultation story—from intent and audience to accessibility, participation and the way input will inform decisions.
Share a plan, brief, survey, discussion guide, engagement page or communications material. The review considers purpose, scope, audience, methods, accessibility, questions, transparency and feedback loops.
What the public is being asked
How participation connects to decisions
Findings distinguish critical issues from useful refinements, so teams can focus limited time where it will make the greatest difference.
Receive specific recommendations your project, communications and engagement teams can discuss and apply immediately.

The full review followed by a facilitated session to test findings and agree priorities.
