Regs and Corporate Advisory
 

​

Our team is a respected, high-performing strategic advisory group, a nationally registered lobbyist, with AMDRAS-accredited Mediators and Alternative Dispute Resolution experts, who are graduates of the Australian Company Directors (AICD).

 

As specialists—not generalists—we work across corporate and industry sectors, not‑for‑profits, for‑purpose organisations, and community groups, engaging with all three tiers of government.

 

In Victoria, we are an approved provider on both the Professional Advisory Services State Purchase Contract Panel (PAS SPC) and the Marketing Services Register (MSR).

​

We are a trusted partner, with proven capability in highly sensitive and complex environments, where confidentiality and discretion are paramount. 

 

At RCA, we collaborate with skilled facilitators and mediators to provide impartial and constructive processes in neutral settings, enabling effective settlement and resolution strategies that achieve enduring outcomes for our clients.
