Strategic Trauma Risk Reviews and Consulting
We provide outcomes-focused support for organisations needing to assess, strengthen, or overhaul their trauma response systems. Our work spans policy audits, risk reviews, and development of escalation protocols, trauma-informed workflows, and integrated peer support models. We align processes with psychosocial risk obligations under WHS legislation and ensure all frameworks withstand clinical, legal, and industrial scrutiny. Whether responding to a critical incident, coronial finding, or internal risk exposure, we deliver structured, accountable solutions for managing trauma at scale.
White Papers and Strategic Reports
We produce sector-specific white papers and strategic reports that inform policy, shape organisational reform, and support critical investment decisions. Commissioned by boards, unions, government bodies, and insurers, our reports translate operational realities and practitioner insights into structured, evidence-led arguments. Topics include trauma exposure in high-risk roles, gaps in post-incident response, and system-wide mental health vulnerabilities. Our reports are written with clarity, authority and precision to support policy, funding or operational decisions at the highest level.
Research and Outcome Evaluation
We conduct applied research and evaluation into trauma exposure, psychological injury prevention, and system-level interventions. This includes outcome evaluation of programmes such as TRiM, analysis of critical incident data, and partnership in qualitative or longitudinal studies. Our team brings practical expertise, access to frontline environments, and the ability to translate lived experience into usable data. We produce findings that inform strategy, guide reform, and meet the expectations of executive decision-makers, funders and regulators.
Inquiry Submissions and Position Papers
We prepare evidence-based submissions and policy briefs for government inquiries, regulatory reviews and strategic reform processes. Whether representing a union, agency or sector, we produce content built on operational evidence and clear recommendations. Submissions cover gaps in mental health systems, first responder exposure, WHS compliance and reform priorities. We write with a focus on clarity, legislative alignment and impact to ensure your position is heard and understood.
