Advisory Services

Six services, three streams, one advisor.

Every engagement draws on the same clinical, academic and governance foundation, then shapes itself around the specific board, executive or university that has asked for advice. Speaking sits alongside the six as a separate service, see the Speaking page.

Stream one

Governance

Board, council and executive advisory, including discreet leadership-risk work.

Stream two

Workforce

Psychosocial risk, workplace culture, and workforce capability in ageing services.

Stream three

Sector

Health, medtech and medico-legal advisory for organisations and legal teams.

Stream one · Service 01

Board and Council Governance Advisory.

Advisory to aged-care providers, health services, university councils and not-for-profit boards on governance, strategy and sector reform. Grounded in more than a decade of board and advisory experience with Brightwater, Aegis, Silverchain and Bolton Clarke, and reinforced by AICD company-directors training.

Typical engagements include board reviews, governance uplift ahead of regulatory reform, strategy days, chair and director briefings, and independent input into risk, quality and clinical-governance committees.

Executive Assessment and Leadership Risk Advisory.

Enquiry only

A discreet, evidence-based service for boards and search committees appointing to CEO, executive and senior clinical roles. Draws on chartered clinical and health-psychology practice, structured interviewing and validated instruments, integrated with governance and sector context.

The service is designed to help boards make well-considered senior appointments, and to bring clinical psychological insight to leadership-risk questions that boards otherwise handle without specialist input.

Delivered privately in accordance with PSI and APS ethical guidelines. Scope, methodology and reporting are agreed with the board or search committee before any assessment begins.

Psychosocial Risk and Workplace Culture.

Board and executive advice on psychosocial hazard identification, culture assessment, and alignment with contemporary workplace regulation, including the psychosocial provisions now embedded in Australian WHS law. Especially relevant for aged-care, health and higher-education employers navigating regulator attention and workforce strain.

Typical engagements include board briefings on psychosocial obligations, independent culture reviews, and advice to executive teams on how the psychosocial evidence base should reshape leadership behaviour and reporting.

Health and Medtech Advisory.

Strategic advice for health systems, medtech firms and digital-health ventures on ageing markets, workforce readiness, evidence generation and clinical-academic partnerships. Especially useful for organisations building products or services for older adults and the workforce that supports them.

How we work

A short conversation always comes first.

Every engagement begins with a short, no-obligation call to understand the brief and confirm the fit. From there, scope, method and reporting are agreed in writing before any work starts.

Step one

Enquiry and brief

A twenty-minute call to understand the situation, the question behind the question, and whether specialist input is genuinely useful.

Step two

Scope and proposal

A short written proposal covering scope, methodology, timeframe and cost. No engagement proceeds without written agreement.

Step three

Delivery

Delivered as briefings, written advice, workshops or reports, appropriate to the audience and to the decision the work is meant to inform.

Enquire

Have a specific brief in mind?

If any of the six services fit what you are considering, or if the fit is not obvious but the topic sits somewhere in this territory, a short conversation is the fastest way to find out.
