How we help
You know you need help!
Legal compliance is something you never get around to. You're still using employment contracts that are years old and you are not across the relevant employment law that applies to you. You may be exposed to a legal claim from the Fair Work Ombudsman, Workcover, the Australian Taxation Office, or even a current or former staff member.
The Top 5 Problems I've helped businesses with:
Are your independent contractors really employees?
Are you paying your people correctly?
Do you have up to date employment contracts and policies in place?
How do you exit your problem employee lawfully?
How do you get your staff to do what they need to do?
I'll work with you to understand your problem and devise a solution that is practical and simplifies the complexities of employment law.
"Refreshingly pragmatic"
I am a practising employment lawyer and human resources expert. I founded HR with a dash of Legal in 2013.
With 20 years experience gained working in a combination of roles, including as a solicitor in private practice, and in house as a Senior Legal Counsel and an HR executive in ASX listed financial institutions, I succumbed to the entrepreneurial bug and commenced consulting.
I provide you with the confidential sounding board you need, that helping hand when you're in a tight spot. You now have easy access to an employment lawyer and human resources' professional. I approach an issue from the perspective that without employers and employees working together productive, harmonious workplaces will remain elusive.
I provide you with a tailored solution that works for you.

What They Say
BUSINESSES
HR Director
Sector: Digital"Elisé provides a unique service to HR Directors. It is rare to get advice and research that has equally considered the legal and HR perspectives. Her work has enabled me to make smarter decisions on topics I previously would not have been able to tackle."
Various Senior Executives
Sector: Financial ServicesElisé brings a different perspective and a strong staff focus to issues. All have been much appreciated.
I love the challenging dialogue Elisé brought to the leadership team and I consider her to be streets ahead of the rest.
Elisé showed incredible leadership and tenacity in the toughest of times.
Elisé influences leaders, guiding them with what is the right course of action and "mediating" between employee and manager. She has a very strong moral compass as to what's "right and wrong" and people trust her. Elisé is adept at working through tricky case management - particularly from a legal perspective. She has a great way of considering all the options and coming to the right course of action or the right conclusion on things and leading others through her thinking and taking them on the journey with her.
Elisé is the consummate professional, she provides specific actionable advice and consulting support for both my start-up business and also my consulting business. This includes both HR strategy, legal and business strategy.
CEO
Sector: HealthI know that when I call Elise that I will have a clearer direction about the way forward with her advice and will be able to apply immediately in a practical sense.
Dr Rachel Cameron, CEO, Health Equals Freedom and Director of Cameron Consult
Sector: Health
Issue: Governance and compliance guidanceBeing first time business owners, we had never had to write staff contracts or privacy policies before. We went around in circles in confusion trying to find the right guidance as to whether particular staff members we were looking to bring on should be employees or contractors.
Elisé took the time getting to know us and our business before giving any advice which we couldn’t have appreciated more. She never made us feel rushed and took her time making sure we had every question answered.
Somehow Elisé made a daunting process so streamlined and simple to understand. We felt we were well educated by Elisé which enabled us to make informed decisions every step of the way.
Elisé’s vast experience is evident in her knowledge and detailed approach to navigating HR and legal situations. We felt extremely confident in her advice and truely valued the amount of genuine care she had for us.
Elisé educated us so that we were equipped to not only make the decisions for developing the present contracts but also for decision making towards future staff contracts. We now have peace of mind knowing we are doing the right thing by our staff.
We also value knowing we can turn to Elisé for future advice and are extremely grateful for having her ongoing support and guidance as our business grows.
INDIVIDUALS
As an employee within a large organisation, I recently encountered the need for independent workplace advice, separate to that provided by internal HR resources. I considered it important that any advice came from a perspective of both relationship management as well as legal compliance. Elisé's approach recognised the sensitivities that can accompany a workplace dispute, whilst also providing sound pragmatic advice that contributed an effective and favourable outcome to the matter.
Male; Tertiary Sector
Elisé has a unique approach in helping others to realise their true potential. Her patience, knowledge and understanding shines through and allows you to gain an optimal result!
I sought Elisé's expertise after feeling quite lost and disillusioned regarding future career options.
Following our session I felt empowered to make an appropriate choice and now I am working in a job I love!

Food For Thought
It's been said, that the higher you go in your organisation, the lonelier it gets. Does that hold true for you? Invariably those in executive roles are already working long hours and have calls upon their time after hours (whatever after hours means these days). There are only so many hours in a day and one person is only capable of so much, no matter how willing.
We know recruitment is fraught – discrimination of varying sorts abounds – age – young and old (both ends of the spectrum), gender, ethnicity. Not to mention people who are seeking that elusive flexible role to fulfill family responsibilities.
