Unlock the power of your people

Your people shouldn't slow you down - but too often, they do.

From compliance headaches to tricky performance conversations, most business owners end up stuck between doing nothing or doing it themselves.

That's where we come in.

We embed into your business, giving you day-to-day HR support, clear advice and scalable systems - so you can get back to growing your business.

Got a tricky team situation?

Performance issue? Complaint? Something just feels off?
We help you handle it quickly, legally and without the stress.

Need a new contract, policy or procedure?

Whether it's onboarding paperwork or a full policy - we write it, tailor it and roll it out. No templates. No fluff. Just documents that work for your business.

Unsure if you're compliant?

Modern Awards. NES. Fair Work. It's a lot.
We help you get clear on your obligations - and make sure your business is protected.

Hiring someone new?

86% of new hires decide in their first 6 months if they'll stick around.
We build an onboarding process that sets them up - and keeps them.

Our Services

Let us handle your HR - so you can get back to business.

From everyday workplace issues to contracts, policies and compliance - we act as your embedded HR team.

No fluff. No guesswork. Just expert support when and where you need it - at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.

On-Demand Workplace Advice

HR issues don't wait - and neither should you. From performance concerns to tricky employee questions, our team is on call with clear, tailored advice. We know your business, so our support actually makes sense for your team and goals - not just a generic answer pulled from a handbook.

Compliance

Staying compliant shouldn't keep you up at night. We'll audit your current setup, fix any risks and then keep you across the latest changes in Modern Awards, Fair Work Act and National Employment Standards. It's one less thing to worry about - and a big one at that.

Recruitment

Need to hire but don't want to waste time (or money) on the wrong person? We focus on finding the right person, not just a person. Whether you're scaling up, replacing a key team member or building from scratch, we take the time to understand your business so we find people who fit.

Policies, Procedures & Contracts

Get the paperwork sorted - properly. We don't believe in copy-paste templates. We'll build or refine contracts, policies and documentation to match your specific structure, needs and risk profile. From employment agreements to disciplinary letters, it's all covered.

Performance Management

Not every situation is straightforward - we're here when things get tough. Whether it's poor performance, conflict or tricky conversations, we coach managers, support meetings and ensure every step follows correct process. You'll reduce risk, gain confidence and take action.

Employee Engagement & Culture

Great culture isn't just a vibe - it's a business advantage. Through our Pulse Check, we give you real insight into what your team thinks and feels - not just surface level feedback. Then we help you turn that data into actions that retain top talent and lift performance.

OUR PROVEN PROCESS

We act as an extension of your business.

At Cornerstone, we don't drop in with a quick fix and disappear. We embed ourselves into your operations and support your leaders through every phase of the employee lifecycle.

Diagnose & Define

We start with a full HR audit — reviewing your compliance, award classifications, contracts, and internal practices. Then we work with you to define your structure, clarify roles, and identify immediate risks or opportunities.

Build the Foundations

We implement the core documentation and systems your business needs to stay compliant and scale — including contracts, policies, performance frameworks, and onboarding tools.

Partner Day-to-Day

You get on-demand access to real, senior HR experts who know your business. Whether it’s advice, a second opinion, or help with a tricky issue — we’re on-call and in your corner.

Embed Performance & Culture

We work with your managers to build accountability, manage performance, and engage your people. Our tools and check-ins help you track progress and create a high-performing team culture.

Refine & Grow

We continually revisit your strategy and structures to match your growth. We adjust the support, refresh documentation, and help build leadership capability so you stay ahead.

Need to hire your next team member?

We cut through the noise to find the right person for your business — aligned to your values, capable from day one and built to last.
No guesswork. No time-wasters. Just the right fit, first time

A little bit about us.

People are the cornerstone of every great business — and that’s where we come in.

For growing companies, hiring a full-time HR lead doesn’t always make financial sense. But flying blind on compliance, culture and performance isn’t an option either.

At Cornerstone Consulting Group, we give business owners access to senior-level HR support without the $100k+ overhead. We embed into your team, bring clarity to the chaos, and build the systems that help your people — and your business — thrive.

With decades of real-world experience in HR and operations across a range of industries, we don’t just know the Fair Work Act. We know how to make it work for your business.

From recruitment to compliance, performance to culture — we’ve got you covered.

Let us handle the people stuff, so you can get back to growing your business.
