Stakeholder Engagement Framework 

Stakeholder engagement is everyone’s business at WA Primary Health Alliance.

Developed with input from key staff and stakeholders, the Stakeholder Engagement Framework demonstrates WA Primary Health Alliance’s ongoing commitment to delivering better health, together through authentic partnerships.

Framework

The Framework sets the standard and expectations for stakeholder engagement across the organisation and provides clear and consistent advice to guide respectful, meaningful and effective relationships with our diverse stakeholders to achieve our strategic priorities as well as see our vision of shaping, strengthening and sustaining a health system that works for people realised.

Key features of the Framework include:

  • SPEAK engagement stages which detail the process to follow when undertaking any engagement activity.
  • Stakeholder engagement spectrum and engagement methods, which adapt to our stakeholders level of influence and the scope, scale and desired outcomes of the engagement.
  • Guidance on co-design in a primary health care commissioning environment.
  • The key principles that guide our engagement practice.
  • An overview of implementation and application of the Framework.
