Collective: a group of entities motivated to work together to achieve a common goal.

A boutique firm with a difference

We are boutique government relations firm with a difference.  

We work by collecting people and ideas around identified problems, then mapping a path forward to a collective position.

To do this we provide a range of services for our clients including:

  • Board support;

  • Strategy;

  • Policy;

  • Communications; and of course

  • Advocacy.  

Our success comes from the principle that collecting the right people around problems or opportunities then motivating them to act collectively - always brings results.  

We know real outcomes are achieved when people are on the same page.

Our team supports clients right across regional Australia.  We also spend lots of time in Canberra, Sydney and Melbourne to make the case to state and federal leaders that the regions should get their fair share.
