Government Relations & Policy Advisory
In times of disruption and uncertainty, clear guidance and strong advocacy is paramount.
Effective government relations and policy advisory experience and expertise is the foundation of clear immigration and workforce mobility guidance.
As crossing borders has become more complex, companies and individuals are looking for advisors who have the necessary depth of experience, credentials in dealing with government authorities, and capacity to reimagine the future mobility landscape.
Information underpins the support provided by the vast majority of immigration professionals. This often includes transactional support such as the preparation and lodgement of visa and work permit applications.
However, the provision of information alone is insufficient to meet the complex and evolving needs of multi-national employers. The internet has ensured that information is readily, and abundantly available, but it has also diminished the value of information.
We implement a three-pillar approach to our government relations assistance.
Separation of political & bureaucratic: An effective government relations approach requires an understanding of both the politics and the operational bureaucratic drivers of change. Both levels of relationship are critical to provide strong representation to the business community and balance the need for short-term change with long-term policy re-engineering.
Adopt a “whole of government” approach: Government does not fit neatly into defined “boxes”. Moving talent internationally touches on multiple areas of government, including Immigration authorities, Taxation authorities, Treasury, as well as Industrial Relations. Additionally, an effective whole of government relations strategy includes areas outside of government such as Chambers of Commerce and Business & Industry Associations.
Balance commercial imperative with political impact: Pursuing and implementing an effective change agenda requires an acute sense of what is achievable. This often translates to an ability to distil the commercial imperatives of business, with the politics of change. We understand the bridge which needs to be maintained between these two government relations policy drivers, which translates to effective change.
