Australian Entrepreneurship Alliance
Nic set up the industry group Australian Entrepreneurship Alliance which provided advice to governments on funding and policy for the start up sector and kicked off Australia’s largest start up conference EntrepreneurFEST reaching 1,800 people.
Sanitarium
Working with consultants and Sanitarium leadership, oversee the acquisition of seven workplace health businesses to diversify the impact of this health and wellbeing company.

Disability Intermediaries Australia
Working on behalf of six major providers of NDIS supports, with funding from several key stakeholders, Nic created the Disability Intermediaries Australia (DIA) industry group to lobby for systemic change in the way the NDIS functioned. With a membership that soon grew to over 350 organisations, DIA was admitted to the NDIS Industry Group, a select group of 11 influential peak bodies that went on to shape policy.
WISE Employment
Avondale University
Working with the University’s Vice Chancellor and key advocates on the board, we prepared engagement strategies for overseas students, government, Alumni and key stakeholder groups. The Alliance’s fundraising strategies were reviewed with recommendations for targeting donors willing to migrate to more influential roles at the University so as to diversify the University’s revenue streams.

NSW Government
In an assignment for Minister Dominello, we conducted an assessment of the Department’s procurement arrangements with the not for profit sector, advising on key metrics to improve the impact of the sector and the Department’s engagement strategy.
The Difference
In a five year assignment, Full Support engaged government and philanthropic leaders including the Lord Mayor’s Fund, the Myer Foundation and Department of Communities in a project to identify organisation leaders in the human services field. Using social impact measures, we worked to match key social issues with donor targets in an annual report which attracted significant TV, radio and print media coverage, including an editorial in Melbourne The Age.
