Blog Post: Advocacy and Stakeholders
by J.W. - Saturday, 13 October 2018, 3:38 PM
From a public health perspective this section of our course has been very interesting
and thought provoking as to how public health policy can be influenced though
advocacy and consultation from a bottom up approach at grassroots community
level to other stakeholders closer to the government and policy makers.
In our local area there was a groundswell against the proposed Public Shellharbour
Hospital being changed to a new Private /Public Hospital policy for health care.
Community advocacy argued that those who were more socially and economically
disadvantaged would receive a poorer standard of health care. This resulted in the
NSW State Government not proceeding (Wachsmuch 2017). In Kiama a dementia
friendly community pilot project involving consultation with people with dementia
resulted in changes to the build and social environment by the local council to
improve social capital and inclusiveness of their community in regard to dementia
(Rahman & Swaffer 2018).
Althaus et al’s (2018) chapter on consultation provides an overview in terms of all
possible stakeholders. There has been at an increase in consultation at all levels of
government to provide greater transparency and trust in the population and provide
legitimacy for the government policy. Public consultation can range from inform,
consult, involve (partnership), collaborate and empower. This advocacy landscape
has changed using main stream media and other forms of digital media and
innovated ways such as ‘Citizen Juries’.
The role of the Public Health sector as an advocate for change to improve social and
economic inequalities was examined by Cohen & Marshall (2016).
While it is acknowledged by many Australian State and Federal Government statutory
bodies that the social determinants of health (SDOH) (AHIW 2018) are a major
contributor to health inequalities very little has happened to address these
issues. Cohen & Marshall (2106) believes the public health sectors should lead in the
change of attitude and funds to ensure social justice and health equality for all.
Chapman (2015) had advocated on public health issues in Australia for a number of
years and advises in public health advocacy, arguments are evidence based, to use
the media and social media, be prepared to put your argument at any time, use
actual sufferers, be patient and not to be distracted by the opposition.

Re: Advocacy and Stakeholders

Hi J, thank you for your impressive explanation of advocacy from the public health
perspective.
You mentioned that public health policy can be influenced by advocacy in a bottom-up
level. And do you think it can be more reasonable or efficient than a top-down level?
Because the policy thing in my home country is always controlled by the government, it
is really hard for me to understand what can be done from bottom to top via advocacy.
And if it is not powerful enough, will it waste a lot of resources?
And thank you again for sharing your ideas.

Hi L. T., I think that bottom-up advocacy is particularly important because it can show
where services are lacking in practice and identify gaps for those that a strategy is going
to affect. Because -in my understanding- bottom-up advocacy usually starts small, it is
hard to see it wasting a lot of resources, and usually the issues are important to those
involved, so efforts would hardly seem ‘wasted’ to those involved t, if that is what you
mean.
