Introduction

WACOSS has engaged Mira Consulting to develop an Implementation Plan for their Lived Experience Framework Principles and practices for Lived Experience Partnerships. The Framework can be found at https://www.wacoss.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/WACOSS-Lived-Experience-Framework-Principles-and-Practices-for-Lived-Experience-partnerships-December-2023.pdf.
This survey is seeking information from Social Service organisations to:
  • Understand the challenges and solutions developed to better engage with people with lived experience*
  • Understand what practical tools or resources would assist organisations to better engage with people with lived experience
  • Gather information on resources being used in organisations to support engagement with people with Lived Experience
  • Understand how engagement with people with Lived Experience is being funded.
This survey should take no more than twenty minutes to complete. Please note that more than one person from your organisation can fill out this survey. The survey is open until the 6 September 2024.
The information provided will be confidential. If you would like further information on this survey or project, please contact Michelle Mackenzie at michelle@mira-consulting.com.au or at Trish Owen trish-owen@hotmail.com
*Please note a distinction between broad engagement with people with lived experience and employed/designated Lived Experience roles which have links to the knowledge and skills of broader social and rights movements, required to develop Lived Experience expertise.
