Govstrat is one of Australia’s leading corporate advisory and government engagement firms

About us

Govstrat supports ASX 100 companies, international corporations, investment banks and industry groups to deliver solutions to complex public policy and regulatory challenges and reputational issues.

The Govstrat team has decades of combined experience at the highest levels of Government as well as within private sector corporations and in some of the nation’s key newsrooms. We draw on this collective experience to assist in managing commercial and reputational threats to our clients’ interests.

The Govstrat approach to managing Government and stakeholder relations is unique because of our principal-only client servicing model. All of our team members are highly experienced in their field and all team members are active on client briefs. 

We are a bipartisan, national firm, meaning regardless of which political party is in power in any of the Australian states or federally, our clients have equal access to key decision-makers and those that influence them.

Government Relations

Our bipartisan team works to ensure that clients get a fair hearing from Government. We assist in identifying key decision-makers and those that influence them and we prepare clients for interactions with Government stakeholders that carry influence within their industries.

Strategic Media and Communications

In close consultation with clients, we deliver proactive and reactive media advice and support in order to build brand awareness, drive issues and shape perceptions among policymakers and those that influence them.

Stakeholder Engagement and Reputation Management

We assist businesses to map out and deliver strategies for engaging decision-makers and influencers that offer the highest likelihood of successful outcomes.

Corporate Advisory

We partner with clients in highly regulated and highly scrutinised sectors to identify and drive the most effective pathways to successful public policy outcomes. We offer strategic advice and insights at the Board and senior management levels to mitigate political and regulatory risk, specifically in relation to mergers and acquisitions, major corporate events and where market confidence may be compromised.
