About us

For nearly 20 years, HealthConsult has provided evidence-based advice to governments, insurers, and health & aged care providers. Our multidisciplinary team - spanning clinicians, economists, scientists, and more - works with clients to solve complex sector challenges.

With over 500 projects delivered, from $80K to $13M, we specialise in policy, program evaluation, financial and economic analysis, and digital health. Our Partners and Directors are hands-on, dedicating over half of all consulting hours to mentorship and project guidance.

Top reasons to join us

• You won’t be bored. You will be supporting our teams to tackle some really big problems – the type of projects that you look back on in 20 years and say “I helped do that”.
• We’re small by design (and free from large organisation hierarchy). More opportunities to work alongside senior experts. More opportunities to see your ideas through to fruition. And a guarantee that your hard work will be recognised.
• Impact over profits. Our owners will be working alongside you which means we have the luxury to prioritise making a difference over arbitrary sales targets.
• We offer 5 weeks annual leave. Everyone is entitled to 5 weeks leave every year. We recognise the demands of consulting life. This extra week of leave lets us better balance our work and personal lives.
• We give people flexibility to manage their day. Need to start a little later? Need to pick up the kids from school? It’s all possible. Our focus is on producing high-quality work, not what time you log-on or off.
• And we don’t do time sheets! We trust people to use their time wisely. We don’t ‘keep watch’ over people, checking to see what they’re doing every minute of the day.‍
