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!
Our work in practice

Practical support. Real examples.

Examples of work delivered by CCG. Details are kept anonymous to protect client confidentiality.

Helping a technical team get more from one-to-one meetings

The need
A technical business wanted practical guidance on running useful, regular employee conversations.

Our work
CCG prepared and delivered a training session covering the purpose and structure of one-to-one meetings, communication, feedback and employee support. Alongside this work, we consolidated employee feedback to support the ongoing review of position descriptions.

What was delivered
The team received practical training in effective check-ins and a consolidated set of feedback for the next stage of its role-description work.

Make responsibilities clear as the structure changes

In a small technology business, people often cover several functions. As the team expands, that flexibility can leave gaps or overlapping responsibilities between founders, team leads and new hires.

We help define roles and reporting relationships, prepare position descriptions and connect individual expectations with the way the business operates. The work can start with one growing team or a broader review of your people foundations.

Build useful habits for new managers

A strong technical contributor may be asked to lead people without a clear framework for doing so. Regular check-ins, meaningful feedback and agreed expectations give that person a practical starting point.

We can support performance frameworks, probation reviews and conversations about conduct or delivery. Managers have someone to work through the facts with before a difficult issue is allowed to drift.

Bring consistency to flexible and distributed work

When people work in different locations or patterns, assumptions about availability, communication and responsibilities can vary. Clear workplace policies help make those expectations discussable and repeatable.

We can help review employment documents, onboarding and flexible working processes, with an agreed approach to communication and employee concerns. Australian employment support is scoped to your business; any overseas employment or specialist intellectual-property advice can be identified separately.

Your first step

Start where growth is creating pressure

You may be hiring your first managers, opening a new team or finding that informal processes no longer work. We’ll help identify the most useful first project and the people who need to be involved.

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 current and proposed team structure
  • Existing contracts, policies and onboarding materials
  • The decisions or manager challenges taking up leadership time

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

Common questions

Getting the right HR support.

Do we need a full HR department to work with you?

No. We can work directly with founders or operations leaders, or provide additional capacity alongside an existing HR professional.

Can you help us hire for a newly defined role?

We can help clarify the responsibilities and hiring requirements, then discuss whether our recruitment support fits the role and the work you need.

Can you check whether our roles are award-covered?

We can help review your business activities, role duties and any applicable agreement to identify the employment arrangements that need to be considered. A technology job title alone does not decide coverage.

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.
