Government

Clear communication for complex government priorities

We help agencies plan and deliver strategic communications that align with policy, engage stakeholders, and achieve measurable outcomes.

Understanding government

Government communications demand precision, transparency, and the ability to engage diverse audiences across multiple channels. From navigating compliance and accessibility requirements to managing multi-stage approval processes, we understand the operational realities that shape public sector projects. Redboat is a trusted provider on the Australian Government Creative and Digital Communication Services procurement panel.

Key challenges we help solve

  • Policy complexity: government policies and programs are often difficult for the public to understand and act upon.

  • Stakeholder diversity: messages need to reach citizens, staff, industry partners, and other agencies with clarity and consistency.

  • Public trust: communication must be transparent, accurate, and engaging to build confidence in government initiatives.

  • Compliance and risk: requirements for accuracy, accessibility, and governance are high, leaving no room for error.

  • Change management: reforms and new policies require communication that guides people through transitions smoothly.

  • Resource pressure: internal teams often lack the time or expertise to translate technical content into accessible formats.

  • Emerging challenges: governments must communicate on fast-moving issues like AI, cybersecurity, climate, and public health.

How we help

  • Translate policy and technical detail and data into clear, accessible narratives.

  • Create video and animation content that drives public understanding and behaviour change.

  • Build content workflows that integrate with your procurement, review, and approval processes.

  • Provide lifecycle planning to ensure communications remain relevant and effective over time.
