Connect Australia works across applications, government engagement, regulatory matters and director support. The common thread is the same in every case: complex facts, a decision-maker who needs them organised, and a deadline.
Every engagement starts with a confidential fit check. If the work is not something we should be doing, we will tell you at that point rather than after you have paid for it.

- Confidential fit check. A short discussion about the decision, the deadline and the immediate risk. No sensitive documents required.
- Scope the mandate. Objective, workstreams, authority boundaries, deliverables, fee and the specialist advisers who may be needed.
- Build the case. Evidence organised, gaps identified, contributors coordinated, the application or response prepared.
- Engage and deliver. Meetings supported, correspondence managed, commitments tracked, the agreed response implemented.
Where our work stops
Connect Australia does not provide legal, tax or financial advice and is not a law practice, tax agent or financial adviser. We work with your preferred provider or, with prior disclosure, can introduce an independent partner for you to assess and choose.
Start with a confidential fit check
The first conversation is short and costs nothing. We want to understand the decision you are facing, the deadline attached to it and whether this is work we should be doing at all. You do not need to send documents at that stage.
If the matter is a fit, the next step is usually the $850 initial strategic consultation, which includes up to one hour of pre-reading and a one-hour meeting.
