Services

Three ways to work with us.

Come to deliver a single project, for ad-hoc support, or to put a senior team across everything people-related in your organisation.

How do you engage us?

Flexible engagement options to fit your organisation.

Organisations come to us at different points and with different needs, so there is no single way to engage us. Some want help with one difficult matter and nothing beyond it. Others want a dedicated consultant who supports their organisation year round. Many use a combination, holding a subscription for day-to-day support while scoping separate projects for larger pieces of work such as a payroll audit or a system implementation.

The three models below reflect that. HR On Demand is billed as you use it, with a scoped quote before any work starts and no ongoing commitment. HR Partner is a twelve-month subscription with a dedicated consultant, which suits organisations that want continuity and a predictable monthly cost. Project Work is a defined scope with a defined outcome, and is available whether or not you hold a subscription. Your consultant will advise you on the best fit for your organisation.

PAY AS YOU GO

HR On Demand

Day to day HR, IR, and WHS; advice, documentation, and support, drawn on when you need it.

  • Pay as you go for only the support you need
  • No lock-in contract, no minimum engagement
  • The same consultant team from start to finish
  • Escalation to a principal consultant for complex matters
POPULAR

HR Partner

A subscription with a dedicated consultant who learns your business.

    FOCUSED DELIVERABLES

    Project Work

    A defined piece of work with a defined outcome: an audit, a remediation, a restructure, a system implementation.

    • Scope and approach agreed before commencement
    • Project deliverables spread out to meet your budget or funding requirements
    • Delivered by the specialists who do that work daily
    • Available whether or not you hold a subscription
    What we do

    Four specialist fields in one team.

    We work across four areas of practice, and each one is led by consultants who work in that area every day. You can bring us a single piece of work, or engage us across several areas as part of a joined-up program.

    The support we provide.

    These are the defined pieces of work organisations engage us for. Each one has a set scope, a set deliverable and a quote agreed before it starts. Select any service to see what it includes.

    How we work with you

    One dedicated team. The full range of specialist support.

    When employers come to us looking for HR support, we hear the same frustration. A large firm feels like the safe choice at the start, until you become a file number, passed between people who read your history for the first time each time you call. The answer you need takes too long, and when it arrives it is far too general and doesn't apply to your organisation.

    Effective HR is built to provide deep HR and IR expertise coupled with bespoke, hands-on support. You engage with the same handful of people, led by one key consultant who knows exactly how your organisation operates. You receive documentation that is genuinely tailored to you, not a template with your name pasted on top.

    When an employee issue arises, you know exactly who to call, and they know the history immediately because they were part of it.

    A team you know and trust

    You are not required to call a contact centre and explain the history each time. The same consultant and the same small team support your organisation, so the person who answers already knows your rosters, your award and what happened last time.

    Every specialism covered

    Payroll questions, system rebuilds, and Fair Work matters are all covered in-house across our four areas of practice. Your consultant brings the right specialist in. You keep dealing with the people you already know.

    Truly bespoke advice

    Your team knows your organisation, award, rosters, challenges, and goals. As a result, we ensure that each piece of advice, and the documentation supporting it, is crafted specifically for you.

    Talk it through with a specialist.

    Tell us what you are dealing with and a consultant who does this work daily will come back to you. No obligation, and no sales sequence.

    Leave a phone number or an email, whichever suits.

    Thanks, we have it. A consultant will come back to you within one business day. If it is urgent, call 1300 28 28 16.

    Testimonials

    What our clients say.

    At Lincraft we have experienced first-hand the positive impact Effective HR can have on a business. Over a nine-month project their team delivered exceptional service, taking the time to truly understand our needs and tailor their approach accordingly. No question was too small or too complex, and we always felt supported, listened to, and guided by their deep knowledge of the GRIA Award. We had complete confidence in their ability and integrity, and they delivered outstanding results with professionalism throughout. I would happily recommend Effective HR to any business seeking a reliable, knowledgeable, and customer-focused HR partner.

As a small not-for-profit working across language, culture and conservation programs, we need HR support that is responsive, practical, and culturally aware, and that is exactly what Effective HR delivers. As the Operations Manager at Miromaa, I need advice that is always clear, grounded in current legislation, and tailored to the realities of running a values-driven organisation.

    Effective HR have been an amazing support to this poor General Manager who is often in over her head! Operating as a disability service provider is complex under NDIS. Add to that compliance with the ATO, Superannuation, Q leave and then dealing with hiring or restructures you might find yourself overwhelmed. We solved that problem with Effective HR Do yourself a favour and pay a reasonable monthly fee to get the help you need from Melissa Shaw and all of the team. We are delighted with the support we've received and even when money is tight the monthly fee is worth every dollar. The last time we recommended a business was''.never. So we really mean it when we say they're great.
