Impact Co

Impact Co provides Employee Change Impact Assessment, working with government departments, agencies and not-for-profits across Australia from offices in Melbourne and Brisbane.

• The consultancy focuses on health, mental health, social services and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander sectors, gathering and synthesising data to understand client problems from new angles before designing responses.
• Published case studies include joint regional health governance work for the Queensland-Commonwealth Partnership, support mapping for international student mental health with the Victorian Department of Health and Study Melbourne, and a strategic vision project for family violence support body FVREE.
• Impact Co also worked with Gayaa Dhuwi (Proud Spirit) Australia to elevate Indigenous concepts of health and wellbeing, and is cited by cohealth Chief Executive Nicole Bartholomeuz as offering a different approach from larger consulting firms.

Best for: government agencies and not-for-profits in health, mental health or social services needing evidence based change and stakeholder impact assessment on complex transformation programs.

Impact Co also delivers Stakeholder Engagement and Communication Planning, supporting the transformation programs it runs for government and not-for-profit clients across Australia.

• The firm collaborates directly with client organisations and their stakeholders to develop strategies and redesign systems, services and models of care around the people closest to the problem.
• Its FVREE case study involved crafting a strategic vision for family violence support in Victoria through this stakeholder led approach.
• Work with the Queensland-Commonwealth Partnership on regional health governance design also drew on this engagement and communication planning capability.

Best for: public sector and community organisations that need structured stakeholder engagement embedded in a broader change or service redesign project.
