Community Views is a survey-based service that captures a representative and meaningful picture of community values, experiences and priorities. It provides governments and organisations with trusted insights and data to inform, monitor and evaluate a wide range of plans, policies and advocacy efforts.
The Community Views questionnaire is purpose-built for public policy, designed to uncover the values, experiences and needs that matter most to residents. It provides rich, people-centred insights to help decision makers evaluate social impact and align strategies with community expectations. Custom questions can be added to explore local priorities or emerging issues in greater depth.
The service captures authentic and diverse perspectives from residents across locations, demographics and life stages. It delivers large, locally representative samples that reflect the broader population – not just the usual voices. This efficient, end-to-end approach removes survey bias and ensures the community’s voice can be meaningfully reflected in decision-making.
Insights are delivered via our interactive reporting platform. Gain clear insight into community views at a local level, with data broken down by area, demographic and life stage. Explore results with ease and create custom geographies in seconds – making it simple to identify variation within communities and respond with greater precision.
Local results are presented alongside national, state and regional benchmarks – updated annually – to help distinguish place-specific issues from broader trends. The service supports annual tracking, strategic monitoring and reporting, with guidance to align insights directly to organisational goals.
