How a $2 Million HR Disaster Led to Australia's Most Effective HR System

Early in my career, I watched a thriving Melbourne manufacturing company with 85 employees get destroyed by a single HR mistake. A poorly handled termination led to a discrimination claim, a Fair Work investigation, and ultimately $2.3 million in penalties, legal fees, and lost productivity.

The owner, a brilliant engineer who'd built the business from scratch, had to sell his family home to keep the company afloat. His biggest regret? "I knew I needed help with HR, but I kept putting it off. I thought I could handle it myself."

That moment changed everything for me.

I realized that most Australian business owners are incredible at what they do, but they're trying to navigate a complex, ever changing maze of workplace laws with no guide. They're not HR experts, nor should they have to be.

After 15 years helping hundreds of Australian businesses transform their HR from a liability into an asset, I created the PACS™ System, the only predictive framework that doesn't just prevent disasters, but actively drives business growth.
