Lobbyist

Lobbyists are political advocates who seek to influence Australian government decision-making on changes to legislation, development of government policy, and funding allocations. They are paid professionals who represent the interests of large corporations, peak industry bodies, and non-profits.

As a lobbyist you could be meeting with a client to explain the implications of an upcoming amendment to legislation, attending a regional industry event, petitioning a federal MP before an upcoming vote in parliament, or researching an industry issue and preparing a report for a prospective client.

Above all, lobbyists are confident communicators who have an innate ability to build lasting relationships and key connections.
