The research also aimed to gain insights into perceptions and attitudes towards the GMA and its performance.</p><p>The GMA uses stakeholder and community research to inform its approach to stakeholder and community engagement. This research establishes a baseline measure of community understanding of the GMA’s role to allow tracking over time.</p><p>While the majority of respondents were able to correctly identify aspects of the GMA’s role and responsibilities (seven correct answers out of 13, on average), respondents had more difficulty recognising whether certain misconceptions were part of the GMA’s role (such as managing game habitats and public land).</p><p>Satisfaction with GMA was higher among those who demonstrated greater familiarity with the GMA’s functions and those who had more positive perceptions of the impact of game hunting.</p><p>Respondents who were aware of the GMA, and lived in areas where hunting occurs, were more positive about the GMA being fair and making decisions based on the best available advice and evidence.</p><p>More generally, the results show that we could improve community perceptions of the GMA’s services by raising awareness of our role and the work that we do.</p><p>For more information, read the <a href="https://www.gma.vic.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0011/987869/GMA-Community-Research-2023-Report.pdf" title="Community research 2023 report">Community research 2023 report</a>.</p><p>The survey questionnaire and respondent demographics are available at <a href="https://www.gma.vic.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0003/1000398/GMA-Community-Research-2023-Report-Appendices.pdf">Community research 2023 - appendices</a>.</p></p> </div> </div> </div>  <div id="page-last-updated"> <p>Page last updated: 08 Jan 2024</p> </div>   </div> </div> </div> </main> <footer> <div class="container-fluid"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-6 col-md-3 footer-column"> <ul class="footer-links"> <li><a href="https://www.gma.vic.gov.au/copyright">Copyright</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.gma.vic.gov.au/disclaimer">Disclaimer</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.gma.vic.gov.au/privacy">Privacy</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="col-6 col-md-3 footer-column"> <span class="divider"></span> <ul class="footer-links"> <li><a href="https://www.gma.vic.gov.au/accessibility">Accessibility</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.gma.vic.gov.au/about-us/contact-us">Contact Us</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.gma.vic.gov.au/sitemap">Sitemap</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="col-12 col-lg-3 footer-column"> <p>Follow Us</p>  <script> gtag('event', 'conversion', { 'allow_custom_scripts': true, 'u1': '[PageURL]', 'send_to': 'DC-10871674/remar0/au_dj0+standard' });
