Fast track to solutions in a one-stop-shop
My scope of services covers strategy, policy, governance, partnerships, data and system change, which means I can support an entire change journey from planning through to sustainable implementation.
Strategy & Change
BRINGING PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS TO COMPLEX ISSUES
You work in a fast paced, complex service environment with resource challenges. You need to ensure ongoing quality improvement, and you have insufficient time and information to properly guide decisions.
I can help with practical solutions to make system level changes by drawing on a wide range of skills. I assess where you are currently, understand and compare with best practice, and consider possible change solutions to improve practice and performance. I work at the system level ensuring any change is embedded, sustainable and delivers maximum benefit for the community you serve.
The services I provide include:
- reviewing current system or practice, and identifying gaps with best practice evidence
- identifying what can change in the current environment
- strategic planning
- identifying readiness for research translation, including identifying the need for new research or data collections for successful implementation
- communication and consultation with a wide range of audiences, including about sensitive matters
- building strategic, effective and enduring partnerships
- best practice governance
- change management.

Data
OPTIMISING DATA USE THROUGH IMPROVED GOVERNANCE, COLLECTION AND REPORTING
You want to increase the quality and usefulness of data to inform your decisions, but are not sure where to start? Optimal use of data depends integrally on the quality of the data collected and the associated system, its attributes, and the governance under which it is established and used.
The best designed systems will align with the mission and strategy of the organisation and provide information on performance and where there is room for growth. I have honed my extensive and unique skills to establish or adapt data systems/ collections as a tool to improve performance over many years and multiple projects.
The services I provide include:
- reviewing current system or practice, and identifying gaps with best practice evidence
- identifying what can change in the current environment
- strategic planning
- identifying readiness for research translation, including identifying the need for new research or data collections for successful implementation
- communication and consultation with a wide range of audiences, including about sensitive matters
- building strategic, effective and enduring partnerships
- best practice governance
- change management.
The services I provide include:
- review current data availability relative to need
- identifying gaps in data or reporting with best practice evidence
- supporting new data system design, planning and governance, and integrating this into the existing or transformed business (including surveys, evaluation, ongoing collection, statutory collection)
- designing new reports to facilitate data-driven decision-making
- developing feedback loops from policy and practice through to data collection/evaluation.
Policy & Legislation
HARNESSING THE POWER OF POLICY AND LEGISLATION TO ACHIEVE POSITIVE AND LASTING OUTCOMES FOR THE COMMUNITY
Policy and legislation are powerful levers to achieve positive and lasting outcomes for the community. Shifting these systems is often challenging, but they are highly effective in implementation if well designed. I use a range of skills and experience acquired through academic training and then over 15 years of work across government in public health to optimise policy and legislation.
The services I provide include:
- reviewing current system or practice, and identifying gaps with best practice evidence
- identifying what can change in the current environment
- strategic planning
- identifying readiness for research translation, including identifying the need for new research or data collections for successful implementation
- communication and consultation with a wide range of audiences, including about sensitive matters
- building strategic, effective and enduring partnerships
- best practice governance
- change management.
The services I provide include:
- identifying the need for a new or changed policy or legislation
- providing advice about associated best evidence-based practice
- undertaking relevant consultation and negotiation
- drafting the product in partnership with the business
- using strategic influence to drive change in an existing environment
Ongoing Advisory
SUPPORTING CHANGE
For organisations that are undergoing change, reform or on a quality improvement pathway, I understand that it can be difficult to know where to start especially when you are responsible for ongoing business operation which is already a full-time job.
Having the space to think about issues and embark on change can be hard. This is where I step in, helping to identify what needs to be changed, can be changed, what it could change to and how. I can support individual projects over the short term or have a longer engagement based on hours per week or month. Advice can be provided over a number of areas of the business, responding to issue as they arise.
The services I provide include:
- reviewing current system or practice, and identifying gaps with best practice evidence
- identifying what can change in the current environment
- strategic planning
- identifying readiness for research translation, including identifying the need for new research or data collections for successful implementation
- communication and consultation with a wide range of audiences, including about sensitive matters
- building strategic, effective and enduring partnerships
- best practice governance
- change management.
This advice:
- is across the full suite of services
- is independent, focused on outcomes for the community
- considers whole of agency, sector and community to ensure best outcomes
- supports staging change in highly complex systems
- can be trusted to be frank and based on evidence.
★★★★★
“I had the pleasure of working with Katina on a recent project that required consulting with a wide range of stakeholders and compiling a comprehensive report in a tight turnaround time. Katina’s expertise and professionalism were evident throughout the entire process. She delivered high-quality work that was both timely and thoroughly researched. Her ability to engage with stakeholders and distil complex information into clear, actionable insights was invaluable. I highly recommend Katina to anyone seeking expert consultation and exceptional results.”
