Advisory Panel

Learn about our advisory panel and the work they do below.

In 2019, Kinergy decided to form an advisory panel made up of staff members and former clients to help guide the service and the work we do, and to make improvements for future service users.

In their role, they provide honest feedback as to where and how we can improve our services by reviewing our policies, marketing material, and social media. They also review data and trends to identify issues for concern, and common themes and trends.

If you're interested in joining our advisory panel, you can download our information poster - and you can read more detailed information below!

What do the advisory panel do?

  1. REVIEW: Panel members will review specific policies - both current and new, and will also be invited to review our marketing materials, and social media content.
  2. IDENTIFY: Panel members will look at common themes and trends with a view to how the agency should best meet our clients' needs.
  3. EXPLORE: You will be invited to discuss key developments within the agency. 
  4. FEED BACK: Provide open and honest feedback on Kinergy's services and how you think they might be improved.
  5. ANALYSE: Panel members will review Kinergy's performance data to identify issues for concern.




Who can join the panel and what to expect?

Former clients: The panel will be made up of staff members, and former Kinergy clients.
Expectations: We ask that panel members fully engage with us and contribute to our strategies and development plan.
Honesty: We ask that panel members provide frank but constructive feedback on our services.

How often does the panel meet and what can I expect?
