Setting the priorities for a fast-growing multidisciplinary group
Within two weeks the group had started on one of the first priorities, billing for indirect time it was already delivering. I stayed on an hourly basis to support implementation.
Services
Consulting
Two ways to work, depending on the size of the question and who needs to act on the answer.
What I am usually asked for
- Competitor and market analysis
- Growth strategy and implementation roadmaps
- Funding diversification and revenue mix analysis
- Registration, commissioning and market entry decisions

Pricing
Projects are quoted per engagement. Ad hoc work is billed at an hourly rate as it happens. Work is delivered remotely across Australia, in person where that suits, with travel costs on top.
Projects
Custom

A defined body of work with a fixed fee and a documented output at the end of it. Market analysis, a strategic or operational review, a board paper.
- Scope, deliverables and fee, by email within 24 hours
- Interviews, data and document review, sized to the project
- Deeper scoping and a findings workshop on larger projects
- A document that stands on its own, plus one round of feedback
- Anything outside the agreed scope is agreed before it starts
- Invoiced up front, on completion or by milestone, depending on size
Ad hoc consulting
$300
+ GST per hour
You send the request, I do the work, and it is invoiced in arrears as it goes.

- Position descriptions, document registers and KPI frameworks
- Document and system reviews with written recommendations
- Calls with preparation, a written summary and an action plan
- Invoiced weekly in arrears, fully flexible scope and timing
How it works
What happens after the discovery call depends on the shape of the work rather than the size of your organisation. You work directly with me from start to finish.
Discovery call
Twenty minutes. What you are trying to solve, what you have already tried and what a good outcome looks like.
I recommend an approach
A project when the work has a defined endpoint and a decision needs evidence behind it. Ad hoc when the work is operational and ongoing, or small enough that scoping it would take longer than doing it.
We start
A project begins with a written proposal you approve first. Ad hoc begins straight away.
For other firms and government teams
I work as a subject matter expert on projects run by consulting firms, government teams, platforms and peak bodies that need Allied Health, NDIS or Aged Care depth.
Case studies
Testing a growth plan against the market
The analysis showed workforce capacity, rather than demand, was the binding constraint on growth. Leadership made recruitment the immediate priority and began interviewing candidates the following week.
Restructuring a loss-making division at a national not-for-profit
The division moved from reactive, fragmented operations to a defined leadership structure, measurable targets, streamlined systems and a three-year roadmap. The organisation has since engaged me again for implementation, leadership development and a follow-up review.
Every engagement starts with a discovery call
I'll ask about your situation, the problem you're trying to solve and what a good outcome looks like. From there, I'll recommend whether a scoped project, hourly consulting or a different service is the right fit.
