There’s no one “right” way to implement share decision-making, so in this episode, you’re going to hear three.

A community-level initiative in regional Victoria, a state-level disaster authority in Queensland, and a philanthropic organisation tackling some of Australia’s most entrenched challenges. Each has built processes and structures that fit their context, while continuing to draw on the strength and perspective of community.

“You’ve got to go from being the only person who makes the decision to being one of a group of people that makes a decision. That’s actually not a very hard shift, but it is a shift.” says Matthew Cox, Executive Director of the Bryan Foundation.

This is the how of shared decision making; the structures, the processes, and the conditions that make it possible.
