Your sector matters

Economic development

From building support for development projects to supporting small businesses to prepare for changed environments, we can help you to understand how to create thriving, innovative and productive local and regional economies through policy reforms, major projects and new initiatives.

Government

From reforming public policy reform to corporate planning or implementing new services, we know the work you do really matters. You work hard to improve communities. That's why we love working with all three levels of government.

Major projects

City-changing and region-changing projects that change the way communities live. From major transport infrastructure, to innovation hubs, to knowledge precincts, we know it's critical to create productive collaborations to build projects that deliver more than just hard infrastructure.

Water

Critical for a growing population facing climate change, engaging with communities is essential for changing usage behaviour, igniting community-led initiatives and ensuring a secure and affordable supply.

Innovation

Our clients span the innovation network, from governments innovating age-old services, to establishing innovation ecosystems, investing in smart city infrastructure, building open data policy, and driving internal innovation.

Energy

Understanding community needs and concerns is where we start. Engaging the community in energy projects, and working with organisations on pricing, supply and infrastructure to power an energy-hungry nation is where we see that your work in renewables and innovation is changing how we live.

Health and aged care

From service planning and strategic visioning to delivering world class health care, we can help you to understand and build long-term trust with patients, staff, families and the wider community.
