Who Decides: What is shared decision-making?

For too long, decisions about communities have been made without them. Shared decision making offers a different way – where communities aren’t just consulted, but are empowered to shape the services and systems affecting their lives.  You will hear from the residents of Millgrove in regional Victoria, who decided to stop waiting for change and start leading it. In this episode, they share their process for shared decision making, and how it has transformed their community.   Partnerships for Local Action and Community Empowerment has been established to help communities like Millgrove, and CEO Luke Craven explains why shared decision-making matters.   To learn more, explore our guide to shared decision-making, 'Sharing the power to make change.'
