How it works

We pride ourselves on working collaboratively with our partner councils. We combine our strong expertise with open minds to understand your unique needs.

1. We understand your problem

An initial phone or video call to understand the question or issue you're grappling with, and openly assess how we might best help.
2. We give you options

Sometimes the solution you had in mind may not be the best way to answer you question or resolve your issue. Which solution works best for your needs, timeframe, audience and budget?
3. We collaborate

We work with you collaboratively throughout the project, eliciting feedback along the way to ensure the final product is precisely what you require.
4. We deliver

We invest in ongoing relationships with our council partners; a big part of that is constantly proving ourselves reliable and trustworthy. Our collaborative approach has proven the best method for delivering meaningful results, and we see every delivery as an opportunity to continue our relationship rather than close it.

Disability modelling

Data on disability can be difficult to come by. Census data has good coverage but limited detail. Other sources can give good detail, but only at high geographic levels (eg State). Our analytical methodology brings together multiple sources to give you the best possible view of disability needs in your area.

Area role and function

Understanding the role and function of an area can guide policy responses and support service delivery to the population.

What role and function does an area plays within a municipality or region?
Is the area predominantly residential, a commercial hub or an employment cluster?
Which "life cycle" stage are different areas of your municipality in? (eg young couples, mature families, empty nesters...)
What are the issues council may need to respond to? What can they pro-actively influence?

Executive briefings

Need to get a thorough understanding of your area quickly? Need to get new managers and staff up to speed fast? Our executive briefings are a crash course in the forces at play in your area.
