Why a social-purpose consultancy?
You may have noticed we look a little different to other consultancies. That’s because we’re here for the same reason as you, creating better lives for all Australians.
For the past 10 years, we’ve worked exclusively on projects that strengthen the social sector and have developed a deep understanding of ‘what works’ in this space. We understand the challenges – after all, we’re a not-for-profit ourselves.
We have an outstanding team who are leaders in their varied fields of expertise. They choose to work with SVA because they want their work to lead to a fairer, more equitable world.
Because every situation is different, our team approach each project from first principles. That means our clients get innovative and effective solutions that are tailored to their unique needs and situation, better allowing them to achieve their purpose.
That’s why we have become long-term trusted partners to so many of our clients – we share their passion, and we understand the social sector like no other group of consultants.
