The Office of the Implementation Monitor (OIM) is committed to meaningfully engaging and consulting with children and young people, victim-survivors, Aboriginal people and organisations, community organisations and other stakeholders.
We value the knowledge, experiences and perspectives people bring to our work and recognise the importance of listening to a diverse range of voices.
Why engagement matters
The OIM monitors and reports on the implementation of reforms arising from the Commission of Inquiry into the Tasmanian Government’s Responses to Child Sexual Abuse in Institutional Settings and other related inquiries and reviews about child safety.
Listening to the voices of others helps us understand how reforms are experienced in practice; identifying issues that may need further attention and strengthening accountability for implementing these important reforms.
We consider the information people share alongside government reporting, documents, data and other evidence. Together, they inform our monitoring, appraisal, evaluation and reporting.
How engagement supports our work
Our approach
We aim to make our engagement and consultation safe, respectful and purposeful. This means listening to a range of perspectives, being clear about how people's input can inform our work and continually improving how we build relationships through listening and learning from the people who are most affected.
What guides our engagement
We consider information shared with us alongside other evidence. Stakeholder perspectives inform our work, but the Implementation Monitor remains responsible for making independent findings.
Developing our Stakeholder Engagement Strategy
We are developing a Strategy to guide how we work with stakeholders. The Strategy will help us strengthen our approach and support more consistent, purposeful participation and connections.
We have published a draft Strategy for consultation and want to hear whether our proposed approach reflects meaningful engagement, how people would like to be involved with our work, and what we could do better. Feedback will help us refine the Strategy before it is finalised.
