Effective government relations is about understanding the context in which politicians operate.

This helps inform debate and build effective relationships to achieve outcomes.

SenateSHJ’s government relations team can help your organisation develop a strategy and implement it in ways that resonate with decision makers and officials.

We help clients build and maintain good reputations in areas of high political and public sensitivity.

At SenateSHJ we believe you are the best person to advocate on your organisation’s behalf. Our government relations team will support you with specialist knowledge and advice on how and when to engage to achieve your objectives.

We also work with government agencies supporting their communication and engagement strategies. Find out more about this service on our public sector page.
