HBA Consulting Solutions: A Fast Track to your Business Success

HBA Consulting has offices located in Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne. We specialise in the provision of practical human resource management and industrial relations advice and assistance to a wide range of private and public-sector organizations.

Since commencing operations in 1995, HBA Consulting has grown form a company with a primary focus on industrial relations, to one that can now provide a wide range of Human Resource Management and Human Resource Consulting and services.

We are increasingly asked to provide an ‘on demand’ service to our clients – many of whom don’t need ‘high end’ HR capability within their organisations on a daily basis but do need to know that if they need this type of help, its available, affordable and is exceptionally responsive – especially when a crisis arises without warning.

Under these types of ‘on demand’ arrangements, HBA Consulting can provide your organisation with assistance and advice relating to:

• HR advice and assistance, including policy and procedural matters, employment documentation and ad hoc HR queries and complaints.
• Industrial relations matters, including Award interpretation and application, review and resolution of queries and disputes relating to terms and conditions of employment, pay and Award related issues.

We also can help your organisation with workplace investigations and mediation services when you need them and have a part-time industrial lawyer available to assist with legal matters as well.
