What is Strategic Advocacy Australia?

Strategic Advocacy Australia provides advocacy support, influence mapping, accountability tools, and policy strategy services for individuals, communities and organisations.

What are the Accountability Tools?

They are lightweight web applications designed to support advocates with structured evidence gathering, conflict-of-interest tracking, decision-mapping, and timeline documentation.

Advocacy Health Check

Advocacy Energy Health Check

Before you make your next ask, map the pressure levels acting on you. This diagnostic helps you understand how much structural load you're carrying — and what needs reinforcement so advocacy doesn't become emotional debt.

What This Tool Measures

This is a structural literacy instrument. It assesses the pressures, supports, and gaps across four systemic layers:

👤

Micro

Your individual bandwidth, clarity and stability

PERSONAL LAYER

👥

Meso

Your team or immediate advocacy environment

IMMEDIATE CIRCLE

⚖️

Macro

System rules, predictability, and procedural fairness

ORGANIZATIONAL

🌍

Advocacy Energy Diagnostic

Answer for your current reality, not the future you are working toward. Use your first instinct rather than over-explaining it to yourself.

Micro Level — “Me”

1. I have enough emotional bandwidth to advocate safely. 2. My boundaries are clear and consistently honoured. 3. I recover effectively after advocacy moments.

Meso Level — “We”

4. My team or immediate environment buffers advocacy load. 5. I am not isolated or punished for raising concerns. 6. I have meaningful allies or amplifiers.

Macro Level — “Systems”

7. Organisational policies protect me when I advocate. 8. Rights, processes, and escalation paths are clear. 9. My advocacy does not depend on risking my safety or job security.

Meta Level — “Worldbuilding”

10. My advocacy aligns with broader social or cultural movements. 11. The cultural narrative supports—rather than undermines—my advocacy. 12. My cause is recognised, validated, and understood at a broad level.

When your score is low, it doesn't mean you're failing. It means the structure is asking you to do work it was supposed to do. Your advocacy deserves scaffolding that matches its impact.
