The Policy Platform

What The Policy Platform is

The Policy Platform is a web service for Australian charities, not-for-profits, and social enterprises that want to follow government activity and organize advocacy. Its policy tools include a readiness survey, decision-maker mapping, policy landscape analysis, and media monitoring. The platform says monitoring covers nine jurisdictions and fifteen chambers, and links to original sources. Users can build strategic plans, advocacy strategies, and approaches to government engagement. Campaign tools include contact management, drafting outreach and submissions, and coordinating campaigns. AI-assisted outputs are starting points for users to review, edit, and approve before acting. The company says user data is not used to train AI models and that third-party AI provider agreements prohibit training on that data. It also says information is stored with industry-standard encryption and access controls, and is not sold or disclosed to third parties for their own purposes. Individual inputs and uploads are private to each account, though a small number of authorized staff may access them when needed for support. The free plan is for individuals and first-time advocates and includes selected research tools and solo advocate features. Funding discovery, application support, and tender acquittal are described as coming soon.
