 About
GR Solutions
Government Relations Solutions Pty Ltd (GR Solutions) is a privately
owned Government Relations company with a rapidly growing consulting
practice. We specialise in building constructive, mutually beneficial
partnerships between business and Government. With significant
experience, GR Solutions plays a vital role in many organisations'
efforts to be seen and heard by key political and bureaucratic
decision-makers at the Federal, State and Local Government levels.
GR Solutions are registered lobbyists in the Commonwealth of Australia
and in the State Jurisdictions of New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland,
Western Australia and South Australia. In March 2010 we were invited by
the Federal Minister of State to a 'roundtable discussion' at Parliament
House, Canberra. Participants included the Minister, Senior bureaucrats
from the Department of Prime minister and Cabinet and a select small
group of GR consultants to discuss and frame the next stage in the
development of the Federal 'Lobbying Code of Conduct'.
GR Solutions has the experience to represent a wide variety of issues to
Australian Federal, State and Local Governments and to find the
solutions to the issues of concern.
Why Engage in Government Relations Activity?
Dealing with Government in all it's forms
is an important function of any organisation. Government is a key
stakeholder in the future of just about every organisation in Australia,
whether it is a business, public body or voluntary organisation,
Government relationships therefore should be managed pro-actively in the
same way as relationships with clients, customers, suppliers and the
general public would be.
Government Relations: Different from Public Relations!
Public relations is very much focused on the wider media whereas
Government Relations tends to be focused on Government policy, the
legislative process and executive decision making. It is extended to
include those who have a secondary influence on policy (key
influencers). It is about managing an organisation's profile and
reputation with elected representatives and policy makers. Government
Relations activity can include a number of elements in a range of
combinations, depending on the context, including, mentoring, media
relations, lobbying, strategic issues management, campaigning, crisis
management and events.
Taking a Strategic Approach
GR Solutions strategically plans and tactically implements Government
Relations programs that help our clients steer their issues through
shifting policy and regulatory environments, providing them with the
strategic positioning they need to succeed.
We incorporate our understanding of Government and political
processes into the Government Relations strategies we create for our
clients. We constantly engage with political landscape to track
developments occurring within political parties, committees, legislative
and consultative processes, the media and other relevant processes and
organisations to deliver timely political analysis and advice to our
clients.
Code of Conduct
GR Solutions requires that our representation and advocacy is undertaken
in an open, honest and fully accountable manner. We abide by a Code of
Conduct that can be accessed by clicking on the pdf link:
