This practice exists for organisations that have moved past whether structural change is necessary, and are ready to address how it happens.
The work is analytical and advisory, operating upstream — at the level of regulatory governance design, accountability frameworks, and the assumptions embedded in how health practitioner regulation functions. It is not training, not implementation, and not consultation that validates decisions already made.
My Services
-
Discovery Session — where every engagement begins.
A bounded, paid diagnostic that examines your regulatory environment through an Indigenous knowledge sovereignty lens. You receive a written assessment of your current governance frameworks: where the structural gaps between cultural safety commitment and operational reality sit, what they expose you to, and the priorities and pathways for transformation.
It is deliberately a small first step. You gain expert analysis and clear strategic options before committing to a larger engagement, and your investment in Indigenous expertise is honoured from the first interaction — regardless of what follows.
Investment: from $7,500 depending on organisational complexity.
-
Project Engagement — substantive analytical and advisory
work.Scoped following a Discovery Session and structured around clearly defined outcomes — not hours. Work typically spans regulatory framework analysis, governance design advisory, strategy development and writing, policy development, strategic synthesis, and evidence review.
After Discovery, you receive a proposal with a choice of options — different ways to reach the outcome, at different depths of engagement and investment — so the decision is how we work together, not whether. Each option is bespoke to your regulatory context and your organisation’s genuine capacity for transformation.
Investment: scoped from $30,000, with most substantive engagements between $75,000 and $140,000+.
-
Strategic Retainer — a live advisory relationship.
For organisations navigating sustained regulatory transformation: ongoing access to specialist, sovereignty-grounded advisory expertise for complex, time-sensitive issues as they arise. The retainer maintains a live strategic relationship rather than a reserve of banked advice; unused capacity does not carry over, by design. It suits senior decision-makers who need an independent perspective available to them consistently across a period of change.
Investment: from $6,000 per month, minimum three-month commitment.

The Indigenous Regulatory Community of Practice (IRCoP) is a sovereign knowledge community for Indigenous regulatory practitioners across Australia, Aotearoa (New Zealand), and Turtle Island (United States of America and Canada).
Regulatory bodies can support Indigenous practitioners in their workforce and broader regulatory ecosystem through IRCoP organisational membership - providing access to peer connection, collective knowledge, and sovereignty-grounded professional development that institutional environments rarely offer.
Organisational membership is available on an annual basis. Enquire to learn more.

Indigenous Regulatory Practice welcomes direct approaches from government agencies and health sector organisations seeking a First Nations led specialist for RFQ or tender processes in regulatory policy, cultural safety frameworks, evidence review, and strategic analysis.
If you are developing a procurement process and want to understand whether this practice is the right fit, direct enquiries are welcome before formal submission.

Because this is a specialist practice of one, I take on a limited number of engagements each year, and Discovery Sessions are scheduled in the order enquiries are received. Engagements are confirmed with 50% on acceptance and the balance within 30 days. All fees are exclusive of GST.
What this practice does not offer
This practice is not the right fit if you are looking for:
Cultural awareness or cultural competency training. Implementation or project delivery. Facilitation of community consultation processes. Advice that validates organisational decisions already made. Engagements where Indigenous expertise is sought for optics rather than genuine structural transformation.
Organisations at the beginning of their cultural safety journey — where the primary need is awareness-raising rather than structural analysis - will be better served by other providers.
All fees are quoted exclusive of GST.
