Health & Life Sciences

Ensuring the health and wellbeing of the community is a primary objective of public policy in its own right --- but importantly it also underpins sustainable and strong labour force participation and economic growth. We are experts in public policy design and analysis to enable equitable access to innovative therapies and realising value for money for the community.

Industry Policy &

Economic Strategy

Public and private sector organisations need to regularly review the appropriateness of the strategies they employ to achieve community objectives. We offer an enviable track record for strategy and policy development in response to changing policy and market conditions -- including quantitative market analysis, scenario modelling, game theory, trade and investment attraction, labour market modelling and computable general equilibrium analysis.

Government Services

Government spending as a share of GDP has been increased every year since 2010 and is forecast to grow over the forward estimates. Australia's rapidly growing population and changing consumer expectations is creating demand for new infrastructure and government service delivery. We bring deep expertise in market analysis and policy reform to improve the appropriateness, effectiveness, and efficiency of public sector services.

Business Cases

We have helped our clients secure more than $4 billion in government funding for a range of projects and policies across the health, defence, aerospace, resources, life sciences, education, emergency services, transport, and manufacturing sectors.

Defence

By 2030, the Indo-Pacific theatre will be home to more than half of the world’s megacities, seven of the 10 largest armies and patrolled by approximately half of the world’s submarines. More than ever, the potency and capability of Australia's Defence Force is paramount. We have led a number of significant projects across air, land, and naval domains focused on defence industry capability and value for money for Federal and State governments as well as a range of private sector firms.
