What the NT Committee does

The NT Committee gives members the opportunity to develop strategies to tackle local issues as well as contribute to the national agenda. Committee participants are often called upon to represent Consult Australia in local engagement activities (including meetings with government agencies etc). The NT Committee meets monthly and requires engaged individuals.

Latest 'top 3 takeaways'

The 'top 3 takeaways' summarise key issues discussed at the last meeting. These are to help the broader membership understand the activities of the NT Committee.

1. Engagement - The Committee has an opportunity to further engage with the CEO of the Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Logistics to discuss procurement / delivery methods following our conversation with him at our Boardroom Breakfast late February. 
2. Upcoming workshop - The Committee agreed to pursue a workshop with both the Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Logistics and the Department of Industry, Tourism and Trade to address issues around Northern Territory Government contract terms and conditions, focussing on limitation of liability and unreasonable insurance requirement.
3. Advocacy - The Committee further agreed that any engagement with government on procurement should include an element of education on the difference between contractors and consultants, and messaging that any changes sought were in relation to consultancy agreements.
