  • Recruitment

    We do recruitment like no other organisation in Australia. We’ve recruited hundreds of quality people and we do it well. Moreover, no one beats us on our model or on price. CLICK

First Line Responders

We have a passion for first line responders. We support nurses, police, fire, ambulance, military and SES personnel. Like SMEs they are the life blood of our community, so we have a suite of tailored services just for them.

Non-Government Sector

We’ve worked with some dedicated and talented non-government organisations (NGOs). Our focus has been on providing tailored strategic advice, implementing broad change management programs, to raising millions of dollars for clients through both State and Federal Governments.

Representing SMEs by keeping it SIMPLE

Why does everything have to be so complex? That’s why we’ve joined forces with some very clever organisations to facilitate meaningful change through simplicity.

Electricity prices for SMEs

Small and medium businesses have been told for over twenty years that as renewables increase, electricity prices decrease. And yet in many States and Territories electricity prices have skyrocketed to unsustainable levels.

Families and businesses were then asked to instal solar and yet, as of July 1 2025, some State Governments have implemented a ‘sunshine tax’, penalising anyone who transfers renewable solar energy to the grid at the wrong time.

We appreciate all too well that we need to phase out coal for electricity generation. But renewables alone are inconsistent as a base load supplier - so many power outages during summer already - and becoming more expensive.

So are Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) a solution? Moreover, why are they not even being considered in the debate? We helped set up Small Modular Reactor (SMR) Australia for this very reason. Some SMRs in fact don’t rely on nuclear energy (uranium). So what are SMRs and are they a solution to ballooning electricity prices for SMEs?

Our Services

  • Become an Employer of Choice

    We work with clients to teach them to become employers of choice by convincing them that it’s often the smallest of changes that make the most difference.

  • Recruitment the way it should be

    How you recruit is a reflection of you. It explains why we ALWAYS call back short listed clients. We NEVER email them. Shortlisted candidates deserve an explanation. And doing so proves you care.

  • Policy Outcomes

    We were so proud not to only be engaged by global manufacturers but to deliver an incredible outcome. We also secured Ministerial exemptions for remote use, military and Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA) saving them millions.

  • Executive Coaching

    Working with people to help them navigate their career and reach their full potential is a massive passion of SMEA. We don’t sugar coat the process because your success is way too important.

  • Change Management

    The fundamental mistake change managers make is suggesting they and only they, have all the answers. Quality CM outcomes relies on knowing when change isn’t needed and when it is, making sure you have the right people beside you to support your client.
