Australian Citizens' Assembly

The Australian Citizens' Assembly is a deliberative process that brings together a representative group of ordinary citizens to consider complex public issues. Participants are randomly selected to reflect the country's diversity, and they receive expert information and engage in structured discussions. The Assembly's goal is to produce well-informed recommendations or decisions that can inform policymakers, fostering greater public participation and trust in governance. It serves as a way to incorporate citizen insights into important national or regional debates, promoting inclusive and democratic decision-making beyond traditional electoral processes.
