Cornerstone Consulting Group (or CCG as we refer to them in the office), have supported us with general HR, recruitment and some training. It's easy to forget to dot the I’s and cross the T's with recruitment and performance management, but they drive the processes and policies that keep us on track. They have held us to a high standard and supported delivery. The team are responsive, thoughtful, considered and knowledgeable. As a result, CCG have become a trusted partner.

I couldn’t recommend Cornerstone Consulting Group more highly. Riley and Jasmine have been an incredible support to me and my business. They have consistently gone above and beyond in the support they’ve provided. They have taken the time to genuinely understand my business, my team and where I’m trying to go. Their guidance has helped me navigate not only people and HR decisions, but also think more clearly about growth, planning and the bigger picture of running a business. What I value most is having Riley and Jasmine as trusted sounding boards. They are approachable, practical and incredibly generous with their knowledge, while also being willing to challenge my thinking and offer a different perspective when I need it. They truly feel like an extension of my team. I’m very grateful for their support and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Cornerstone to any business owner looking for exceptional HR guidance from people who genuinely care about the businesses they work with.

I needed help with obtaining a contract for my own employee and also HR help for one of my current clients. These people are awesome - quick and efficient turn around and very commercial. Dealing with a HR expert has been a much more streamlined, efficient and smoother experience then trying to work directly with a commercial lawyer. If you need anything HR related go straight to Cornerstone.

Working with Cornerstone Consulting Group has genuinely been one of the best decisions we've made. Over the past two years, Grace and the team have helped us completely transform our HR and WHS systems. They've guided us through policy reviews, ISO requirements, workplace compliance, recruitment, employment matters, and more, always making what feels overwhelming seem manageable. What stands out most is that they never treat us like just another client. They take the time to understand our business, explain things in plain English, and provide practical advice that actually works in the real world. Their support has given me the confidence to tackle projects I never thought I'd be leading. Grace has been patient, knowledgeable, responsive, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Knowing we have Cornerstone in our corner gives our team real peace of mind. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Cornerstone Consulting Group to any business looking for professional, approachable HR and WHS support. Thank you for everything you've helped us achieve.

Experts in their field! Super knowledgeable and will go above and beyond to meet your business needs. Would definitely recommend!

Connect the office with project and operational teams

As a business takes on more work, people may report to one manager while taking day-to-day direction from another. Clarity about responsibilities helps managers coordinate expectations and employee concerns.

We can help review position descriptions, reporting lines and approval responsibilities. The result is a practical basis for onboarding, performance conversations and the changes that come with a growing business.

Make onboarding and role changes easier to follow

A new employee or a move into a different role can involve several people: the hiring manager, administration, payroll and the operational team. A shared process helps them understand what information and approvals are needed.

We can organise the employment documents, policy acknowledgements and review points, and help identify who follows up outstanding items. Technical competence, site requirements and specialist operational approvals can sit alongside the HR process with separate owners.

Support managers through changing priorities

Project timing, new responsibilities or business growth can create questions about how work is organised. Before communicating a change, managers need to understand the employment issues and the steps that may be involved.

We help you gather the relevant facts, review employment arrangements and plan the people side of the change. We also support performance and employee-relations conversations when an individual issue requires attention.

Your first step

Agree the people work that matters first

Start with a specific issue or a defined review of your employment foundations. We’ll agree the scope, responsible people and deliverables so the HR work can fit alongside your operational priorities.

Our typical clients have around 10–150 employees. After an initial conversation, we’ll recommend retainer, hourly or project support to suit your business. We can also provide extra capacity alongside an existing HR professional.

Meet the CCG team

Useful information for our first conversation

  • Your office, project and operational roles
  • Current employment documents and relevant agreements
  • The planned change, growth priority or employee issue

You do not need every document ready to book a conversation.

Common questions

Getting the right HR support.

Can you work alongside our operational or safety advisers?

Yes. We can coordinate the HR documentation and people processes with the relevant people in your business, while keeping specialist technical and safety responsibilities clear.

Can you help us standardise documents across teams?

We can review the documents already in use and help build a consistent framework, with appropriate differences where roles or employment arrangements require them.

Does your HR support include energy-sector technical compliance?

This service focuses on HR and employment matters. Technical, engineering, licensing or regulatory work needs to be identified separately with the relevant specialists.

For general award information, see Fair Work’s awards guidance. For support in another sector, explore our industries.

How we work together

Let’s make your next step clear.

01

Tell us what’s happening

Book a free consultation. We’ll discuss your business, your team and the HR issue or priority you want to work through.

02

Choose the right support

We’ll recommend a project, hourly advice or ongoing HR support. We agree the scope, fees and next steps with you before work starts.

03

Work alongside your team

We gather the relevant information, work through the agreed priorities and help you put the advice and documents into use.

You can start with a defined project or hourly advice. Ongoing retainers are 12-month agreements; we’ll explain the terms before you decide. An HR Health Check generally takes 4–6 weeks.
