The February 2022 HJP Tutorial was filled with knowledge, motivation and inspiration. Our guest presenters from the Mabels and HALO HJPs in Victoria contributed their experiences of collaborative governance, which fostered great dialogue within the group. We wanted to share a highlight tip from the session, courtesy of one of the attendees:
“Troubleshoot at the beginning before things go wrong; it’s the fire drill before the fire.” – Manager, Community Legal Centre
Partnership problems will require partnership-based solutions. This attendee is reminding us of the importance of shared decision making and accountability in HJP; and connecting early and often with our partners about our goals, hopes, contributions and needs when working in partnership.
Our collaborative governance blog contains some key insights from our work with HJPs nationally in building fit-for-purpose collaborative governance.
