FRDC invites your feedback: Annual Stakeholder Survey

FRDC's Annual Stakeholder Survey is now open, giving you the opportunity to provide feedback on FRDC's processes, systems and overall value.

Undertaken by Intuitive Solutions a professional market research company, is undertaking the survey on behalf of FRDC. The Annual Stakeholder Survey helps FRDC gain insights on our performance, identifies areas for improvement and gain new perspectives from a cross-section of our stakeholders.

The survey reflects FRDC's continual commitment to understanding the needs of our stakeholders. Last year, over 400 participants provided their insights, which was instrumental in shaping our investment priorities.

Reflecting on Past Insights

The 2023 FRDC Stakeholder Survey provided crucial insights. While many stakeholders were positive about FRDC's performance, some areas for improvement were detected, for example some of our stakeholders said they were unaware of the full scope of FRDC's services, as a result, we've undertaken additional communications including webinars to complement our calls for investment and stakeholder specific "have your say" online discussions, increased social media posts and more frequent Electronic Direct Mail (EDMs) to name a few.

On a more personal level, the further embedding of FRDC's Regional Extension Officers initiated in 2022, is also continuing to inform and engage directly with stakeholders, boosting awareness of FRDC's resources and activities.

This increased communication and extension effort is a testament to FRDC's focus on measuring the uptake of research and development outcomes, along with the impact of investments.

Your Voice Matters!

By participating in the survey, FRDC stakeholders are contributing to a brighter future for all fishing and aquaculture stakeholders.
