The story behind Better Together Co.
Better Together Co. was founded by two former executives, from vastly different transformation-based worlds.
It was a shared belief brought them together; for-purpose organisations should never have to choose between organisational sustainability and delivering on their mission.
With firsthand experience in the disability, government, and community sectors, as well as delivering large-scale transformation in commercial environments, they saw the need for a new kind of support in the not-for-profit sector.
One that combines commercial acumen with genuine empathy and human-centred understanding. One that respects the realities faced by boards and executives, challenges faced by leaders and teams that come with operating in a complex and shifting landscape. All while offering the safest and best quality care to the people, families and communities we all serve.
At Better Together Co., we partner with organisations to help them navigate change in a way that strengthens governance, reduces risk, builds workforce capability, and safeguards long-term sustainability.
Our approach is practical, grounded, and always people-first, because we understand that in this sector, the stakes are high, and the work matters.
We’re here to help you stay mission-led, operationally strong, and ready for whatever comes next.
Better, Together.
