About Local Voices
Voconiq Local Voices is a unique community engagement program developed using research conducted by Australia's national science agency, CSIRO.
Rio Tinto has engaged Voconiq to conduct a three-year analysis of community attitudes to the company's operations. This gives communities neighbouring the operations an opportunity to express their views and experiences inside the company, helping to inform the company's decision-making.
Each time a survey is completed, a donation is made to local community groups of your choice. It's our way of thanking you for your time and insights and supporting those groups so that they can continue their great work in the community.
How we work with you
Local Voices will provide the communities neighbouring Rio Tinto's operations a way to express their views and experiences directly to the business, and help them engage on the issues that matter most to these communities. While Rio Tinto may not be able to solve every issue raised, it will be better informed on the things that matter most to your local community.
So have your say about what’s important to you, and your community can benefit.

Community Rewards
By taking part in Local Voices you will be able to express your views on Rio Tinto and its activities while providing benefit to local not-for-profit community groups through our Rewards Program.
Every survey you complete unlocks a donation to the community group of your choice.
Your voice can help the community groups you care about!
