How this engagement works.
Compliance is the work that doesn't bill until something goes wrong. The Executive Presence sits inside your organisation as a fractional partner - refreshing policies against the NDIS Practice Standards and Aged Care Quality Standards, building an evidence trail your board can defend, and preparing your team for the next audit. With direct experience on both sides of the audit table.

Common questions.
Do you work with NDIS providers preparing for re-registration?
+
Yes. Re-registration is one of the most common engagements - a sprint-style project running six to twelve weeks, ending with a mock audit and a defensible evidence pack. Engagements can also continue as a fractional retainer afterwards.
Are you across the Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards?
+
Yes. With current AHPRA registration and direct nursing experience, the work is grounded in how the Standards apply on the ground - not just on paper. Board-readiness packs for the new Act and the Standards transition are a regular engagement.
What's the difference between this and a Big-4 consultancy?
+
You get senior people, not a 28-year-old analyst with a deck. The Executive Presence works hands-on inside the organisation - writing the policy, sitting in the audit, briefing the board.
How do you price a governance engagement?
+
Project pricing for defined scopes (e.g., re-registration sprint, policy refresh) or a fractional monthly retainer for ongoing work. Most engagements sit between $5,000 and $20,000 per month. Pricing is shared after the discovery call so we can match it to the scope.
