2 Methodology
2.1 Design and Structure
Project Governance: To ensure strong governance, a Project Advisory Group (PAG) was
established at the commencement of the project. The PAG provided strong cultural governance,
leadership and support throughout the project and played a crucial role in decision making to
steer engagement and drive the best possible outcomes. The PAG was underpinned by the
principles of Cultural Safety and Self-Determination and utilised the depth of knowledge and
experience held amongst the membership.
