Let us work together to help you navigate uncertainty

Anovia Advisory works with regulated, government and not-for-profit organisations to design and strengthen the governance and risk systems they rely on. The approach is practical and evidence-based, drawing on three decades in senior risk roles across aviation safety, disability services, emergency management and Big Four consulting. The aim is always the same: frameworks people actually use, advice grounded in Australian regulation, and a clear line from risk to the decisions a board has to make.

For each of our engagements, the first hour of consultation is free, so that we can properly understand your business, your needs and your friction points.

GRC Consultancy Services

Principal - From $250 per hour or $1800 per day

Executive Consultant - From $180 per hour or $1400 per day

Our services center on the delivery of tailored GRC advisory that meets your needs, aligned to the following service offerings:

Risk management frameworks

Design, uplift and embedding of enterprise risk management aligned to AS ISO 31000. This covers risk appetite and tolerance, registers and reporting, and the practical work of getting risk into everyday decisions rather than leaving it in a document on a shelf.

Governance and board advisory

Reviews of governance structures, board and committee design, delegations and board reporting. Drawing on experience consolidating large and tangled group structures into something a board can actually oversee, Anovia helps you simplify, clarify accountability and lift the quality of the papers that reach the table.

Regulatory compliance

Compliance frameworks and obligation registers, regulatory change and transition, and sector-specific advice across areas such as APRA CPS 230, work health and safety legislation, privacy, and education and care regulation. This includes responding to compliance audits and closing out findings properly.

Safety, crisis and resilience

Business continuity, and crisis and emergency preparedness. This draws on a career that began in frontline emergency services and national emergency management, so the planning is built for the day something actually goes wrong.

Executive and Lifestyle Coaching

Principal - From $200 per hour or $1500 per day

Executive Consultant - From $150 per hour or $1100 per day

GRC-specific coaching

Carrying accountability for governance, risk or compliance is a particular kind of pressure. You are expected to be independent yet trusted, careful yet commercial, the one who raises the hard issue and keeps the relationship intact. Not many people coaching executives have actually done the job.

Anovia Advisory offers confidential, one-on-one coaching for Chief Risk Officers, heads of compliance and audit, governance and risk leaders, and the executives stepping up into those roles. It is led by a former Commonwealth Chief Risk Officer and accredited executive coach, someone who has sat in the seat through regulatory scrutiny, board pressure and the decisions that have to be made without perfect information.

Sessions are practical and built around what you are actually facing, whether that is influencing the board, holding your independence, standing up a risk function, working with regulators, or backing your own judgment when it counts. The aim is steadier, more credible leadership and the confidence to hold your ground at the executive table.

Lifestyle coaching

We recognise that true success comes from being able to balance work and life. At Anovia Advisory, our certified coaches can work with you to help achieve this balance across the four critical domains of Work, Relationships, Health and Mind.

We also offer female-specific life coaching through one of our associates, who regularly runs national and international residential female growth workshop.
