An All-of-Government Employment Relations Supplier

As an AoG Employment Relations supplier, Three60 Consult is pre-qualified to deliver employment relations consultancy services to eligible public sector organisations through the established government procurement pathway.

We help resolve matters that require judgement, discretion and a clear understanding of employment relations risk, public accountability and stakeholder expectations.

How we can help

Bargaining strategy development, bargaining at the table, and bargaining mediation. Our negotiators are recognised experts in collective bargaining and leading employment relations strategists.

Robust and thoughtful investigations by experienced and licensed workplace investigators, including personal grievances, bullying and harassment, protected disclosures and Code of Conduct matters.

Support from strategy through to implementation, including change strategy, consultation documents, employee engagement, communications and final decision processes.

Mediation and facilitated support for workplace relationships, conflict between colleagues and teams, manager and direct report conflict, executive and board conflict, and bargaining mediation.

Experienced in complex public sector environments

Three60 Consult has a team of highly experienced strategic advisors, bargainers, investigators and mediators with significant experience in the public sector and working with highly unionised workforces and rank-based organisations.

We understand that public sector employment matters often involve more than the immediate issue. They can include public accountability, media scrutiny, union relationships, organisational reputation, employment obligations, and the need to maintain trust across the workforce.

Our approach is practical, calm, and relationship focused. We help leaders understand the issue, assess the risk, and take clear, fair, and well-considered steps forward.
