Who We Are

SVA is Australia’s most innovative social impact organisation. We were created over 20 years ago to find innovative solutions to entrenched social problems and speed up the rate of positive change.

We help institutions think differently, we help redesign systems and work hand-in-hand with our passionate partners and communities to take real action and make positive social change.

We use our broad outlook, transformational thinking and trusted voice to fight against inequality.

The Consulting Team

Our Consulting team works exclusively on for-purpose projects that strengthen the social sector and have a positive impact on people and communities.

SVA pioneered social sector consulting in Australia and in the past 17 years, the team has worked with hundreds of clients to deliver high impact projects. Our clients include non-profits, Aboriginal Community-Controlled Organisations (ACCOs), social enterprises, land councils, governments, philanthropic organisations and corporates pursuing social change.

Our projects generally fall into one of five service offerings:

• Strategy – helping organisations to determine their purpose and how they can best achieve it.
• Outcomes Management – supporting organisations to understand the changes they want to create and how to measure if they are achieving it.
• Collaboration and Partnerships – supporting clients to identify partnership and collaboration opportunities to increase their impact.
• Organisational Effectiveness – helping clients to operate more effectively to ensure they are set up to achieve their goals.
• Program Design – helping clients to develop effective programs that achieve the desired outcomes for participants.

We work across a brand range of issues including disability, education, employment, financial wellbeing, family violence, health, housing, mental health and regional development, and with people experiencing vulnerability including children and families, First Nations people, migrants and refugees and older Australians.

Our team of approximately 50 people is based in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Darwin and Brisbane.
