From behind closed doors and through public media releases, we get the message through loud and clear for the benefit of members. We seek your advice and direction on formulating messages to governments and regulatory bodies, to ensure our message is a true reflection of the membership`s opinion.

Consult with us on how to deal with government departments.  From help in preparing a letter to government or politicians, to finding out who it is you should be talking to, let us assist you in making an effective approach on your issue while saving time, experiencing less frustration, and receiving help in cutting through red tape.
