OUR WORK

Progressive Business Advice

Kreitals is experienced and skilled in providing strategic advice and support to businesses, peak industry bodies, and business and industry networks. We help companies develop their business strategies (particularly taking into account implications of impending government policy and assistance programmes), access and manage government grants, and help industry groups and individual companies with their submissions to government. We have also contributed to the Government’s consideration of the design, delivery and evaluation of assistance schemes for business and industry.

Kreitals is headquartered in Melbourne and has advisors and associates based in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and Brisbane. We provide services to clients throughout Australia and in selected overseas locations. We have worked with hundreds of clients from a wide range of industry sectors, including small and medium businesses, large corporations, industry bodies and government agencies (state, federal and international).
