  • Our vision: a democratic Canberra, where citizens trust their elected representatives, hold them accountable, engage in decision making and defend what sustains the public interest

What CAPaD is doing to strengthen democracy
We work with other community groups, the ACT government and others across Australia to improve community participation in government policy development and decision making, and to strengthen the relationship with our representatives
