Linkers might be interested in this opportunity:

We at the ACMA have begun the exciting  and 
challenging mission of  rebuilding our website 
www.acma.gov.au and we are looking for people to 
participate in a half-day workshop to help us 
better understand the needs of those who use our site.

The workshop is scheduled to run from 2:00pm 
until 6.30pm on Tuesday 3 May at a location (TBA) 
in the Sydney CBD. Catering will be provided at 
the event as well as a financial incentive.

It will involve a range of structured activities, 
such as consumer interest areas in the 
communication and media space, design and 
interface preferences and many more collaborative activities.

The ACMA would like to recruit a broad sample of 
users from the general community. We are looking 
to reflect the wide diversity of the community in 
the workshops to give us the best chance of 
meeting the needs of all users of communications and media services.

The new site is central to our strategic goal of 
communicating, facilitating and regulating media 
and communications in Australia’s public interest.

The driving vision of the project is to rebuild 
our site around the needs of our users.  This is 
a critical organising principle and to succeed we 
need to collaborate with all segments of the 
community who are affected by, or are direct 
consumers of, the communications and media tools 
and services that form such a large part of our daily lives.

This collaboration will strengthen our 
understanding of what matters most to citizens 
and consumers in the media and communication 
space, how they go about fulfilling their needs 
and goals and what is the best way we can help them achieve that.

If you are interested in attending please reply 
to cassady.southern at acma.gov.au. We’ll be in 
touch with you closer to the time to inform you 
of the time and exact venue location. In your 
reply, please indicate your profile by providing the following information:

the media and communications space

Our truest response to the irrationality of the 
world is to paint or sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
