Public Affairs & Government Relations

Navigate stakeholder relationships with purpose.

About this service

Government decisions, regulatory developments and stakeholder expectations can influence an organisation's operations, reputation and strategic priorities. Effective engagement requires preparation, an understanding of the issues and communication suited to the people involved. VeritasPrime helps organisations plan public affairs and government engagement in a structured and informed manner.

How we can help

Our support may include:

  • Stakeholder identification and mapping.
  • Policy and public-issue monitoring.
  • Government and regulatory engagement planning.
  • Briefing notes, background papers and key messages.
  • Preparation for stakeholder meetings and consultations.
  • Communication planning around policy developments.
  • Stakeholder communication materials and engagement reviews.

How the engagement works

We begin by understanding the organisation's objectives, the relevant institutions and stakeholders, and the issue requiring attention. We then agree on the appropriate research, briefing and engagement support.

The work is designed to improve preparation and communication. It does not guarantee access to public officials, favourable policy decisions or regulatory outcomes.
