Our purpose

A social enterprise built for community.

Grace & Grit is a registered not-for-profit social enterprise. Every dollar we earn goes back into building capacity across the community sector — through affordable training, grant-funded programs, and free resources for practitioners and communities who need them most.

We exist at the intersection of family violence, First Nations self-determination, workforce development, and systems change. Our work is funded through a mix of consulting fees, training revenue, and grant partnerships — all in service of a single mission: stronger, safer communities.

Currently active in the grant funding pipeline — partnering with communities and funders to deliver where it matters.

🌱

Grant-Funded Community Programs

Actively seeking grants to deliver specialist family violence training to rural, regional, and remote communities — including King Island and Flinders Island.

💛

Accessible Training for the Sector

Our social enterprise model lets us offer subsidised and free-to-access training and resources for practitioners, community workers, and volunteers.

🤝

Funder & Partner Conversations Welcome

We welcome conversations with trusts, foundations, government funders, and corporate partners who share our commitment to community safety and wellbeing.

📊

Transparent & Accountable

As a registered NFP, we operate with full financial transparency. Our governance supports accountability to communities, funders, and partners alike.

What we do

Consulting that cuts through.

Decades of lived and learned experience across family violence, child protection, youth justice, and community development — grounded in First Nations leadership and cultural safety practice.

👥

Workforce Strategy & Development

From recruitment to retention — our "Hire Well, Keep Well" framework supports sustainable, values-aligned workforce planning across the community sector.

🛡️

Family Violence Systems & Practice

Expert consulting on organisational practice, policy alignment, and cross-sector collaboration — building systems that centre survivor safety and hold perpetrators accountable.

🌀

Cultural Safety & First Nations Practice

Co-designed with First Nations leadership. Genuine, sustained organisational change — grounded, respectful, and practical. Not tick-box compliance.

📋

Policy, Research & Submissions

We've presented to parliamentary committees and shaped government policy. Let us help your organisation find and use its voice in the spaces that matter.

🔍

Supervision & Leadership Consulting

Building reflective, accountable supervision cultures for leaders at every level — from frontline team leaders to senior managers and executives.

🌱

Program Design & Evaluation

Evidence-informed, community-centred programs built to last — with clear evaluation frameworks embedded from the very start.

Who we are

Not your typical consultants.

Grace & Grit was born from a simple truth: the community sector deserves consultants who have actually done the work. We've sat with families in crisis, managed federally funded programs, driven systems reform, and built organisations from the ground up.

Based in Tasmania, we work across Australia with organisations, communities, and funders ready to think differently and act boldly.

We're a registered not-for-profit social enterprise — because our bottom line is community, not profit.
