I started Red Bandicoot to do government relations differently.

I’ve spent my career working in and around politics, advising senior political leaders, developing policy and helping organisations navigate government.

Red Bandicoot exists to bring the government relations expertise that exists in the corporate sector to the for-purpose sector. I want to help purpose-driven organisations to understand what drives government and working out how a good idea becomes something decision-makers can act on.
