ADELAIDE HR CONSULTANTS

Cornerstone Consulting Group is an outsourced HR consultancy based in Parkside, Adelaide. We work with growing businesses of around 10–150 employees, providing practical advice and hands-on support that fits your team.

We support Adelaide businesses onsite and work remotely with clients across Australia.

HR CONSULTING

What does an HR consultant in Adelaide actually do?

We help business owners and managers with employment contracts, workplace policies, Modern Awards and employment obligations, performance conversations, onboarding and recruitment.

For a specific question or employee matter, start with HR advice. For a broader review of your people practices, an HR Health Check can identify gaps and priorities within an agreed scope.

With ongoing support, we work alongside your managers and take responsibility for agreed HR tasks, such as onboarding, manager support and planning for growth. We agree the scope, fees and next steps before work begins.

When do you need one?

Extra HR support can help when:

  • Your team has grown and your people processes need to catch up
  • You need advice before addressing a performance concern or workplace complaint
  • Your contracts or policies need reviewing
  • You need help checking Modern Award coverage or classifications
  • Your managers need support with hiring, onboarding or everyday people decisions

Tell us what needs attention. We can help you choose a practical starting point.

CHOOSING AN HR CONSULTANT

HR consultant vs a full-time HR hire

If you need HR expertise but do not have enough ongoing work for a full-time role, outsourced HR support gives you access to an experienced team. The right arrangement depends on your workload, internal capability and the tasks you want us to own.

Retainers typically start at $3,500 per month plus GST for proactive, embedded support. Hourly advice is typically $250–$350 plus GST. For a defined project, we agree the scope and fee upfront.

What to look for

  • Experience with businesses of your size and the issues you need help with
  • Clear explanations of employment obligations and practical next steps
  • An agreed scope, fee and responsibilities before work begins
  • A choice of hourly advice, project work or ongoing support
  • A clear point of contact who gets to know your business

Use the first conversation to discuss what needs doing, who will do it and how the arrangement will work.
