Inquiries and Royal Commissions

One of H/Advisors APA’s genuine specialities is to combine our knowledge of policy, politics and the public arena, to maximise outcomes before commissions of inquiry and Royal Commissions.

Our methodology is based on our background in litigation communications - it is about working behind the legal team and ensuring that issues are anticipated, narrative is clear, performance is enhanced, and the environment outside the hearing is managed. This is then supplemented by direct stakeholder communications.

Over the last few years, we have assisted a range of clients including:

• EY around the Federal Government’s Parliamentary Inquiry into Audit Independence.

• Accredited Certifiers around the NSW Parliamentary Inquiry into cladding and other issues.

• A range of aged care providers and sector suppliers for the Royal Commission into Aged Care.

• Country Fire Authority – Victorian Parliamentary Inquiry into the structure of fire services.

• Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources – Commonwealth Inquiry into the process to establish a nuclear waste storage facility.

• Rural Fire Service Association – NSW Parliamentary Inquiry.

• Stillbirth Foundation Australia – Commonwealth Parliamentary Inquiry into the effectiveness of health care.

• RFSA for the Royal Commission into National Natural Disaster Arrangements.

This is not a complete list of our work, but a sample selection. Our history in this space spans the last 25 years.
