Western Sydney University

Western Sydney University is a large, innovative and research-led university,

embedded in every major city across one of the most economically significant

and fastest growing regions in Australia.

Established in 1989, the University has nearly 200,000 alumni, 46,000 students

and 4,500 staff. ‘Western’ is ranked in the top two per cent of universities

worldwide, as well as the world’s top 100 universities under 50 years of age.

Over 50 per cent of the University’s students are the first in their family to attend

university, making it a truly transformative institution.

The University offers a growing range of flexible online degrees. Opened in early

2017, the University’s purpose-built, high-rise campus in Parramatta CBD is one

of Australia’s most technologically sophisticated teaching and research facilities.

‘Western’ followed in 2018 with a new high rise campus in downtown Liverpool.

The University will partner in 2022 with UNSW in the new Engineering Innovation

Hub in the Parramatta CBD with further joint ventures planned with the coming

Western Sydney Airport in a “Multiversity”.

Kathy Jones and Associates (KJA)

Established in 2001, KJA is one of Australia’s leading specialist stakeholder

engagement and communication consultancies, with more than 75 staff across

offices in NSW and Victoria. We are known for our exceptional insight and ability

to design, plan and deliver projects. In 2018 KJA became part of the ERM

Group, a leading global consultancy providing a national and international

footprint for KJA services. We work in partnership with industry and government

to deliver innovative and tailored stakeholder engagement for some of Australia’s

highest profile projects.

We balance the strategic and risk management needs of each project with the

day-to-day activities that communities have come to expect. From pre-planning

to project delivery, we specialise in delivering end-to-end strategic

communication and stakeholder engagement. We do not have a ‘one-size-fits-

all’ approach. We work with communities all over Australia and know that what

works in the city does not always work regionally, or in neighbouring suburbs.

We seek out those who are hard to reach and are skilled at working with people

from diverse backgrounds and experiences.

From bespoke strategies and plans to the design and production of engaging

reports and collateral, we take complex data and make it accessible. Our in-

house Design Studio translates technical detail into accessible information,

creating new and interesting ways to engage stakeholders. In the delivery phase

we deliver the tactical components including door knocking, works notifications,

information sessions, phone lines and email enquiries.

As experts in stakeholder engagement, our consultants are trained in best

practice methodologies including the International Association for Public

Participation (IAP2). We manage and facilitate forums, workshops and events,

encouraging participation by designing a collaborative approach to discussions

and providing an environment that generates ideas.

We appreciate the complex nature of strategic planning and service delivery and

that concepts presented to stakeholders to consider are not always highly

defined or well-understood. This often requires a carefully considered approach

to engagement, sometimes with multiple stages or creative techniques to

present and explain concepts. We are user-centric in our approach to

engagement and prototype and test engagement approaches through our in-

house Innovation Hub. We partner with our clients to minimise project risk and

maximise the benefit of strong stakeholder relationships.

and academic institutions from around the country are members of CEDA. For more

than 50 years, CEDA has delivered informed discourse and rigorous research to

influence good public policy for Australia’s economic and social development.

Membership

Organisations join CEDA because CEDA delivers exposure to high level thought

leadership, timely briefings on issues of economic importance, access to

networking and brand reach through sponsorship and hosting opportunities. In

addition to high profile public events, CEDA also delivers regular member only

provide a unique opportunity for peer-to-peer knowledge exchange and for

speakers and attendees to talk candidly on issues.

Research and policy

CEDA’s only agenda is to pursue good public policy to progress Australia’s

economic and social development. Since 1960 CEDA has produced more than

3000 publications, research reports and articles highlighting emerging issues and

directions in a diverse range of policy areas. Research in 2019 will focus on

Australia’s long-term budget position, the effects of temporary migration, a survey

of Australian businesses on their approach to economic development, and new

approaches to addressing entrenched disadvantage.
