Opportunities to have your say

Have your say in the Open Government Partnership (OGP) survey. The OGP is a global initiative that helps governments and citizens work together to make government more open, transparent and responsive. As a member, Australia is working to develop the Fourth National Action Plan to establish actions that support government transparency and accountability.

The Dream Design National Summit with National Indigenous Youth Education Coalition (NIYEC). The Summit is an opportunity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people aged 18-30 to come together in a culturally grounded space to design the future of education – grounded in self-determination, culture and collective action. Express your interest before 19 June 2026.
