Get ready Narrabri shire Citizen’s juries A pilot of the use of citizens’ juries (adult and youth) in an emergency management context

Over the past decade, Australia has experienced a growing popularity in the use of Citizens’ Juries as a

method to engage with communities on important social issues that affect them. Government

organisations and Councils have used Citizens’ Juries to provide recommendations on a range of issues,

such as: Under what circumstances should South Australia be a place for nuclear fuel waste? How

should Local Council rates be spent? How can the ACT government better support carers and what are

the characteristics of a carer-friendly city? What does a compulsory third party insurance scheme look

like? How can the Obesity Epidemic be addressed?
