Board Advisory Services
External Advisor
Keeping pace with educational governance, legislative changes, and risk management demands dedicated focus. As a solo advisor, I provide direct, highly personal, and practical non-legal professional support to strengthen your board's decision making, manage organisational risk, and streamline compliance.
What I Can Do For You
You can flexibly utilise your advisory hours across a range of governance and strategic needs:
Attend your scheduled board meetings (outside standard business hours) to provide direct, real-time advice and governance support right when directors need it.
Provide strategic advice on school award interpretation, staff performance frameworks, and general workplace compliance.
Break down complex education acts into clear, actionable briefs for the board, alongside high level governance oversight for major school projects.
Perform continuous reviews of governance processes to ensure your school operates smoothly within regulatory frameworks.
Availability & Dedicated Support
Because I maintain a separate professional engagement during standard business hours, all advisory services, meeting attendance, and governance work are conducted personally by me outside normal working hours (evenings and weekends).
While I am unavailable for real time calls during standard business hours, I am responsive via email. Urgent queries and updates are promptly addressed during evening support windows, and board meeting attendance is easily accommodated during evening governance sessions. This single-point-of-contact model ensures you deal directly with me every time, without firm overheads or junior delegation.
Proactive Due Diligence
To ensure complete peace of mind for the board, I am fully prepared to complete a Fit and Proper Person Declaration and provide verification of working with children and police clearance upon request. This demonstrates to regulators that the board is exercising thorough due diligence and operating well above baseline requirements.
Transparent Pricing
I provide straightforward pricing with no hidden surprises, ensuring your school receives accessible, high level governance expertise from a dedicated specialist. My rate is $90 per hour + GST for all board advisory and governance support services.

Scope of Engagement & Legal Disclaimer: School Policy Hub provides professional governance, policy, and compliance advisory services based on legal training and industry expertise. Work is conducted outside standard business hours as a specialised consultancy service. This service encompasses meeting support, strategic guidance, and legislative interpretation to assist school leadership in their decision making. Please note that these services constitute commercial and operational consultancy aligned with the School Education Act 1999 (WA) and do not constitute formal legal advice, legal practice, or create a lawyer-client relationship. Where formal legal opinions or litigation representation are required, the school should consult its retained legal counsel. While rigorous industry standards are applied to support the board, School Policy Hub does not control the regulatory assessment processes of the Department of Education and provides no guarantees, explicit or implied, that advisory services will automatically result in a passing school audit or review outcome.
