Welcome to the 2026 Local Government CX Benchmarking Survey

This is the second Local Government CX Benchmarking study undertaken by The Strategy Group. This brief 5-minute survey will help us understand how well councils are managing and improving their customer experience (CX) across 10 key domains.

Why participate?

The insights gathered will create a comprehensive benchmark of CX maturity at national, state, and regional levels, helping identify key opportunities for improvement across the sector.

What you'll receive:

In return for your participation, you'll receive a personalised report showing how your council compares with others in terms of CX maturity. Reports will be available in Q1 2026 after results have been collated.

Thank you for your time and valuable contribution to this important sector-wide initiative.
