Brisbane-based, supporting clients across SEQ and remotely
HR/IR, investigations, performance and compliance, recruitment
“Fair, defensible, audit-ready documentation”
We believe small and medium-sized businesses should have big-company HR support without big-company complexity or cost.
Because the hardest calls you make in business are about people, not products or profits.
We focus on the moments that matter most — investigations, conduct and performance, and on-call advisory — plus the foundations that prevent issues escalating (policies, recruitment, audits, training and HR projects).
Fair, defensible processes
Tidy, reusable documents
Managers who know what to do next
New clients: free 15-minute intro call.
Who we’re here for
I’ve got a conduct or performance issue
A manager needs to have a difficult conversation, and you want it handled fairly, safely and in line with your obligations.
I need an independent investigation
There’s a complaint or allegation on the table, and you need a clear, defensible investigation process you can stand behind.
I want help navigating people issues
You don’t need a full-time HR team, but you do need a senior partner you can call before issues escalate.
I need to build or fix our HR foundations
You don’t need to rebuild everything from scratch, but you do need clear, compliant foundations.
How we work with you
Whatever we’re helping with, our approach stays the same, because you need HR that stands up and works in the real world:
Defensible and commercial – advice grounded in legislation and modern awards, delivered with commercial pragmatism, not legalese.
Calm, embedded partnership – regular check-ins and on-call support that fits your rhythm, not one-off fire-fighting.
Tidy, reusable tools – scripts, letters, checklists and templates you can use again and again.
