The Policy Platform
What it is
The Policy Platform is a web service for Australian charities, not-for-profits, and social enterprises working on advocacy. It helps users understand government activity, identify decision-makers, and organize campaigns. A readiness survey, decision-maker mapping, policy landscape analysis, and media monitoring support policy tracking. Teams can build a strategic plan, advocacy strategy, and government engagement approach. Campaign features include contact management, drafting outreach and submissions, and coordinating action. The platform says monitoring covers nine jurisdictions and fifteen chambers, with links to original sources for checking information. AI-assisted outputs are starting points that users review, edit, and approve before acting. The company says user data is not used to train AI models, and third-party agreements prohibit such training. It also describes encryption, access controls, private account data, and limited support access. The free plan requires no card and includes readiness, decision-maker, media-monitor, and solo advocate tools.
