Our Values
Integrity
We provide honest, independent and non-partisan advice in the national interest, maintaining high ethical standards in all our engagements
Supporting policy development across Australia
Our firm is named after Sir Robert Garran, who on 1 January 1901, became the Commonwealth’s very first, and for a time only, public servant. Garran was instrumental in the establishment of the public service, the machinery of government, and the first federal parliamentary elections.
Garran joined the public service at a time when the demands on the creative capacities of policy makers and decision-makers were great.
Today, Australian governments face demands of a similar magnitude.
Garran Advisory supports the development of public policy solutions that deliver meaningful improvements to the lives of Australians. We assist government with carefully considered and practical policy initiatives.
Our measures of success are:
achieving real-world impact through our work
working hand in hand with the public service and government
developing trusted relationships with government
We collaborate with the public service and government officials to identify opportunities for policy reform, and to design, develop and execute measures that are responsive to Australian conditions and informed by international experience.
Our team brings together leaders in government, industry and finance within Australia and overseas who possess a deep understanding of policy design, business and industry, and international best practice.

are practical, efficient and fiscally sound
leverage cross-sector, cross-departmental and cross-jurisdictional experience
