Public Sector Specialists
We are experts in public sector tradecraft. We understand the conventions for drafting ministerial briefings, Cabinet submissions and other core internal government documents. Our clients can rely on our deliverables without the need for revisions and re-writes.
We understand the broader operational, policy and legislative context in which government works. Our solutions are practical and reality-tested.
A Value-for Money Alternative
As a SME and a virtual business, Strachan operates without the overheads of a CBD presence or large firm structure. We are a cost effective alternative that delivers clear value for money to government clients.
Integrated, Experienced Advice
We have deep expertise in public law. Our legal advice is clear and actionable.
We combine this with policy expertise. We navigate complex existing regulatory environments to craft targeted reforms that are feasible, evidence-based and appropriately aligned with government priorities.
We look at problems through multiple professional lenses to address all relevant legal, policy and operational issues – we build and lead the right teams with the right skills to find the real solutions.
We then deliver those solutions through fit for purpose legal instruments – with a particular focus on legislation and legislative instruments.
Cost-Effective Capability Building
The Australian government has prioritised re-building public service capability.
Capability building is a key focus for us.
We focus on change management and delivering frameworks for process improvement and risk management – with core areas of focus around best practice decision-making, development and management of subordinate legislation and management of integrity and fraud risk.
We also provide comprehensive training across core and specialist public sector accountabilities. Our programs have been refined through continuous rollout, feedback and improvement.
All our engagements are structured to maximise the opportunities for knowledge-transfer, client upskilling and development.
Interpreting the Past, Shaping the Future

We help clients navigate the complexities of existing laws while also formulating proposals for impactful change. We have a unique ability to deliver tailored solutions that serve the public interest.
