Aboriginal Indigenous Engagement Model: Stakeholder Survey

Building Resilience in Indigenous Communities through Engagement: A Focus on Biosecurity Threats

‘Building Resilience in Indigenous Communities through Engagement: A Focus on Biosecurity Threats’ funded by Plant Biosecurity CRC aimed to develop effective engagement with community, industry, government and research in biosecurity management to build resilience and manage risk.

The project has produced a set of Indigenous Engagement Models (Australian Aboriginal and Maori). The Aboriginal Indigenous Engagement Model aims to develop effective engagement with Indigenous communities to enhance community resilience to biosecurity incursions that threaten traditional cropping practices and force the adoption of alternative cropping, surveillance and management technologies.

More information on the Aboriginal Indigenous Engagement Model is available at, http://www.cdu.edu.au/northern-institute/building-resilience-aboriginal-indigenous-engagement-model

Please spare a few minutes to complete our survey. This is an anonymous survey; no personal data will be collected. Your response will be used to evaluate and refine the Aboriginal Indigenous Engagement Model to help improve multi stakeholder management of biosecurity risks.

The survey should take no more than 10 minutes (on average) to complete. By continuing with and completing this survey you acknowledge your consent for your feedback to be collected.

Thank you for your valuable input.
