Social Procurement and Social Impact Consulting for Business

I work with businesses that want to create genuine social value — not just tick a box. From embedding social enterprises into your supply chain to building inclusive employment pathways and strengthening your social impact strategy, I bring practical expertise from both the corporate and social sector worlds.

Maybe you're a team of one, responsible for driving social impact across a whole organisation, and you need a sounding board and practical support. Maybe you're responding to a government tender and need to strengthen the social value component of your bid. Or maybe you know social procurement should be part of your operations but you're not sure where to start.

That's where I come in.

Case studies

DELIVERED IN MY PREVIOUS ROLE AT LEVEL CROSSING REMOVAL PROJECT, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORT AND PLANNING

Working across one of Victoria’s largest infrastructure programs and its five Alliance delivery partners, I drove a more strategic and coordinated approach to social procurement and inclusive employment. The program achieved over $580 million in cumulative social procurement spend, with meaningful investment in Aboriginal businesses, social enterprises and employment for people facing disadvantage.
