Government Relations Advisory

Discuss a Government Relations brief

Knowing the right people isn’t enough. Government engages with those it trusts — those who understand the process, speak their language and play by their rules.

We help you build that credibility — and maintain it, so that when you need to be heard, you already have standing.

Strategy

Understanding the landscape before you step into it. Who makes decisions, when and what influences them.

Federal and State government engagement

We engage directly with ministerial offices, central agencies and parliamentary stakeholders at the federal and state level — from strategy and preparation through to briefings, meeting support, and committee processes.

Policy monitoring and analysis

Tracking what’s coming before it arrives. We follow legislative and regulatory developments so you’re never caught off guard.

Coalition and stakeholder building

Sometimes your position carries more weight when others share it. We identify aligned interests and help you build coalitions.

FAQs

  • We help you engage with federal and state governments in a way that works. That includes ministerial offices, central agencies, parliamentary committees, and regulators. The work covers strategy, policy monitoring, preparing submissions, and direct engagement.

  • Lobbying is one part of it — direct advocacy on a specific position. Government relations is the whole picture: monitoring policy, managing relationships, preparing submissions, and positioning you for the long term. In Australia, consultants who engage ministers on behalf of clients must be registered on the relevant state and federal lobbyist registers. We operate within those obligations.

  • Before you need one. Government decisions take shape long before a formal process begins. By the time a public inquiry is announced, it’s late. We build credibility and position you as a known, trusted participant — so when engagement matters most, the groundwork is already done.
