AND HUMAN SERVICE ORGANISATIONS

About Impact HealthCare Consulting

At Impact Healthcare Consulting, we equip healthcare and human services executives with the advice, strategies, structures and support to succeed today and tomorrow.

Healthcare and human services are relentlessly challenging sectors. We do the ‘big picture’ thinking – and skilled hands-on implementation – when you can’t.

We’re the experienced ally you need to achieve sustained health, commercial and social outcomes.   Every day we help you navigate change, grow and thrive, and drive measurable and lasting results.

Known as consultants with a difference, we’re healthcare specialists with a truly independent, informed and personal approach.

With 20 years of first-hand experience, we understand the ‘nuts and bolts of the sector.  We know the urgency to adapt, cut costs, improve margins, attract and retain staff – all while striving for new and improved operating models, patient care and health outcomes.

Importantly, we work shoulder-to-shoulder with CEOs, executives and in-house teams: helping you shape the right strategies, make the right decisions, implement the right changes, and embed them for the future.  Partnering with private and public organisations of all sizes, from allied health and GP clinics to complex multi-nationals is what we do. We help improve financial sustainability, patient experience, operational efficiency, workforce engagement, digital transformation, regulatory compliance and so much more.

Our expertise runs the gamut of your organisational and people needs from business strategy, transformation and growth projects to governance, recruitment and leadership coaching. We become the ‘right hand’ of many executive teams: advising, planning, leading and activating a new way forward.   We bring insights from across home and community care, virtual care, allied health, primary and hospital care, return-to-work care, and private health insurance.

Our aim is to foster independence, building your internal capabilities so you can forge forward confidently. We’re trusted by executive and leadership teams for a reason. And that’s because we care. We care about your success, stakeholders, staff and the people you serve. We’re truly invested in our clients and see ourselves as part of the team.

Our strengths are in crystalising the big picture, translating strategy into action and solving complex problems. This is done by combining a distinctly commercial, results-driven approach with the people focus at the heart of healthcare and human services. Whatever your purpose and objectives, we make it easier to take the right steps towards sustained ‘step changes’ that make all the difference
