Governance, Risk, Compliance and ICT Consulting

We have a particular interest in the Sporting and Recreation Industry with assisting WA State Sporting Associations (SSAs) build their organisational and governance capability, meet deliverables under their Industry Investment Program (IIP) funding, and achieve their strategic and operational goals.
About Us
Lister&Sullivan was formed with the ambitious goal to consult and deliver on functional, easy-to-use governance practices for organisations across various sectors, with a specific focus on Western Australian sports organisations. We recognise that the driving factor that fuels most sporting organisation boards, committees and those who volunteer for such roles is to build and develop membership, participation and recognition of their sport within Australia and to see their sport grow within the community.
As such, sometimes, important policies, procedures and practices that govern those organisations can go undeveloped or unreviewed. Allow Lister&Sullivan to fill the gap and be your organisation’s trusted partners alongside you on your organisation’s growth and development journey.

Assess
In consultation with the organisation’s executive team, we build a comprehensive forward work plan which will identify a number of things:
