Shared decision making is all about relationships. It brings together diverse groups of people, who can start with power imbalances between them and a complicated history behind them.

For shared decision making to work, you need to build a foundation of trust - otherwise difficult decisions and hard conversations become challenging as the process goes on.

Building trust doesn’t happen quickly, and you can’t build trust by accident. “There should be a level of tension. If you’re comfortable in shared decision making, then you’re not really trying” says Catherine Liddle, CEO of SNAICC.

Find out how and why organisations and governments are taking the time to listen and understand the communities they work in before embarking on a shared decision making process. And, what it looks like when those relationships are put to the test.

For decades, top-down, one-size-fits-all approaches have failed to meet the needs of diverse communities across Australia. Disadvantage remains entrenched – not because communities lack solutions, but because they’re rarely asked what they need.  

Across Australia, that is changing. Communities are bringing together local leaders, government, service providers, and philanthropists to design and fund solutions that actually work over the long term.  

Making Place Matter is a podcast from Partnerships for Local Action and Community Empowerment (PLACE), a national organisation that champions community-led approaches to social and economic challenges.   

This season, Who Decides, is all about shared decision making - a foundation of place-based work. You'll hear what that process really looks like, what gets in the way, and what becomes possible when communities are genuinely at the table.

What happens when the people closest to a problem help create the solution? 

Making Place Matter

Across Australia, communities are bringing together local leaders, government, service providers, and philanthropists to design and fund program solutions that work over the long term.

We know that top-down, one-size-fits-all approaches don’t meet the needs of diverse communities across Australia. Communities don’t lack solutions, but sometimes they’re not asked what they need. 

So what happens when the people closest to a problem help create the solution?

Making Place Matter is a podcast from Partnerships for Local Action and Community Empowerment (PLACE), a national organisation that champions community-led approaches to social and economic challenges. It’s hosted by Gamillaroi woman and journalist Brooke Boney.

We focus on shared decision making - a foundation of place-based work. You’ll hear what that process really looks like, what gets in the way, and what becomes possible when communities are genuinely at the table.
