MosaicLab and Dambimangari Aboriginal Corporation co-designed a Code of Conduct training that brought values to life. Over a day and a half, staff explored ethics and workplace behaviour through real-life scenarios, cultural storytelling, and hands-on activities - then shaped the Code in their own words, images, and symbols. The process built clarity, connection, and confidence - and ensured the team has a Code that’s lived, not just learned.

THE FACILITATOR FILES - INSIDE MEANINGFUL DELIBERATION
What makes a deliberation work? How do people with different views tackle big decisions together? Between 2024 and 2025, our facilitators have delivered (or are in the middle of delivering) nine deliberative engagement processes and two standing panels across three Australian states. Along the way, they've been filming exclusive sneak peeks of the panels at work, providing first-hand insights into what really goes on behind the scenes of a deliberative process. Let’s dive in!
CASE STUDY: NATIONAL MODEL FOR SPIRITUAL CARE IN HEALTH
How do you bring stakeholders from across Australia together to shift how spiritual health is embedded in our healthcare system? MosaicLab partnered with the Spiritual Health Association to design and facilitate an engagement process that helped shape the country’s first National Model for Spiritual Care in Health. The model was piloted in 21 hospitals and health services, including a national health service. After the pilot, sites conducted audits to assess its impact on spiritual care, staff awareness, and patient experiences. The results were published in an evaluation report released in late 2024, offering key insights from this national initiative.
CASE STUDY: CITY OF MELBOURNE AFFORDABLE HOUSING PANEL
The City of Melbourne views affordable housing as crucial infrastructure for maintaining a liveable, inclusive, and prosperous city. With a projected shortfall of 23,200 affordable homes by 2036, immediate action is needed to address this long-standing issue. While there is broad community support for affordable housing, acceptance often wanes at the neighbourhood level. To tackle this, a People’s Panel of 39 diverse community members was established to represent local perspectives.
FROM CANADA WITH INSIGHTS: GLOBAL IDEAS & MASTERCLASS MOMENTS
The 2024 global Democracy Research and Development conference in Canada was an excellent opportunity to connect with global leaders in Citizens' Assemblies and deliberative democracy. We return inspired by fresh connections, ideas, and perspectives. As active members of Democracy RnD, we remain dedicated to advancing deliberative democracy worldwide. Missed the conference? No worries - our videos, photos, and stories capture all the action!
