Who we are

We are different.

Garran Advisory’s strength lies in the unique expertise and insights of our Senior Advisors. All are highly respected and renowned former senior officials, including secretaries and agency heads, who bring an unparalleled insider view of the intricacies and practicalities of government, and the challenges associated with developing and implementing policy. This enables us to provide targeted advice which is live to the operational requirements and policy development processes of the public service and which can be more easily implemented by government departments.

Garran Advisory was created to meet the changing needs of government departments and agencies. Many in the public service – at both a federal and state level – have been clear that they would benefit from greater value from their external advisors, especially as compared with what is currently on offer in the market. We are confident in our ability to deliver this value due to our unique approach of drawing our Senior Advisors from a group of individuals who have previously held leadership positions in the Australian Public Service.

Garran Advisory provides a competitive alternative to the larger consultancy firms for federal and state governments to engage. Our bespoke advice, informed by our Senior Advisors and subject-matter experts, is fit-for-purpose and developed with an understanding of the policy priorities, operational requirements and legislative processes associated with delivering on policy agendas for different portfolios.

In delivering our services, Garran Advisory is able to draw on Australian and global expertise through extensive international networks enabling us to provide innovative and best practice solutions focused on benefiting Australia and the Australian economy.
