PowerHour

Do you want to engage more effectively and respectfully in Regional Australia?

Our PowerHour virtual forums brought together:
• Leading regional experts
• Key stakeholders with deep lived experience
• Highly relevant, real-world topics
• Practical and actionable engagement tips and strategies
• Sessions that were fully accessible — and free

These interactive virtual forums explored the issues that matter most when engaging in regional areas, offering bite-sized learning opportunities, exposure to diverse stakeholder perspectives, and pathways to connect with existing tools and resources. Participants walked away with fresh insights, a stronger understanding of regional contexts, and new strategies to add to their engagement toolkit.

Although the live sessions have now wrapped up, the recorded PowerHour resources remain available online — ready for you to access anytime. If you’re looking to strengthen the way you work with regional communities, these recordings offer practical guidance you can put into action immediately.

PowerHour was proudly supported by Powerlink and Windlab.
