Workplace Advisors for Not-for-Profit & Community Service Organisations
Establishing smooth, practical workplace systems is vital for community service and not-for-profit organisations so they can focus on mission delivery. We provide workplace consulting in policy design, governance support, tailored training, HR reviews and workplace investigations.
Each service is designed for the unique pressures of the not-for-profit and community sector. Legal expertise is available when needed, but our priority is fast, implementable solutions that save time and money.
What We Do
We help charities, foundations, crisis response organisations and professional bodies build people systems that work in the for purpose setting. Services include:
- Organisational restructures and merger support (operational alignment and role design)
- Governance improvement (board and executive support, clear delegations)
- Policies and procedures for staff and volunteers (safeguarding, rostering, conflict of interest)
- Workplace investigations that are independent, trauma aware and evidence based
- Enterprise bargaining and employment relations support tailored for NFPs
- Compliance checks and HR audits with prioritised remediation plans
- Manager and volunteer training on safeguarding, difficult conversations and cultural safety
We work with organisations across all states and territories in Australia.
