No jargon. No buzzwords. Just plain sense.

A plain-talking consultant for Aussie not-for-profits.

  • Governance and Compliance

    Association rules, meeting procedures, committee member roles, risk frameworks, AGMs, and decision-making.

  • Strategy and Planning

    Facilitated strategic plans, vision development, operational and implementation plans, visuals and tools.

  • HR and Operations

    Organisational structure, position descriptions, recruitment, policies and procedures, payroll and IR.

Plain Sense is built on one belief: that not-for-profits shouldn’t need a law degree or MBA to run effectively.

I’ve worked in the arts, education, leadership, and regional communities across Australia—and I’ve seen what burns out boards and volunteers: unclear roles, overwhelming compliance, and policies that never get read.

So I built Plain Sense to help NFPs make sense of it all—plainly.

No jargon. No 70-page documents you’ll never open again. Just real advice, practical tools, and the kind of clarity that will help your organisation to just get its work done.

Practical support for people doing the real work.
