Workshop

Mastering Senate Estimates and Parliamentary Inquiry Training

Our half day or full day Senate Estimates and Parliamentary Training workshop prepares your leadership team thoroughly to perform well under Australia’s most intense public scrutiny.

Tailored to your organisation for both Senate estimates and parliamentary inquiries appearances. Delivered by senior communications counsel preparing you thoroughly to perform well under Australia’s most intense public scrutiny.

Be prepared to face parliamentary scrutiny

Most executives walk into the special committee room underprepared for what makes parliamentary scrutiny uniquely brutal: extended duration, political gamesmanship, theatre and senators hunting for gaps. Yet senate estimates or inquiries can make or break public sector and corporate reputations. Hours of hostile questioning, live broadcast, and instant social media dissection. One poor answer can dominate the news cycle.

A poor performance triggers further scrutiny, damages institutional credibility, and derails policy agendas. Our training ensures your leaders represent your organisation with confidence and competence. Even in the hot seat.

Our team of seasoned communications professionals have worked at both Federal and State levels, and have prepared witnesses for Australia’s highest-profile inquiries. Ready to prepare?
