Workforce Systems & Policy Services
-
Our approach to government engagement is bipartisan, evidence led, pragmatic, and grounded in workforce reality.
We support organisations to engage effectively with government at local, state, and federal levels on issues relating to:
workforce capability and skills development
industry workforce needs and shortages
domestic and international mobility pathways
workforce ladders and progression frameworks
funding programs aligned to workforce outcomes
We work with clients to develop tailored government engagement strategies that position workforce and capability priorities clearly, credibly, and constructively within existing public policy settings.
This is not lobbying for its own sake, it is informed advocacy grounded in evidence, industry need, and long-term outcomes.
-
We help organisations and associations translate workforce and industry ideas into credible corporate and industry-facing strategies that build trust, influence, and momentum.
This includes:
industry capability positioning
workforce-led corporate affairs strategies
stakeholder engagement across government, industry, and community
navigating sensitive workforce or capability transitions
managing complexity where workforce issues intersect with reputation, reform, or public scrutiny
Our work is grounded in people, capability, and industry outcomes, not generic communications.
-
Halo People designs and delivers workforce-focused campaigns and advocacy initiatives that support real change — not just visibility.
We work with:
industry associations advocating for workforce reform
councils developing domestic mobility or skills transition programs
not-for-profits advancing workforce participation or pathways
organisations driving internal or sector-wide change
Our campaigns are built around:
workforce ladders and progression pathways
skills transition and capability building
changing mindsets around how and where people work
enabling participation in emerging or constrained industries
We align strategy, narrative, and execution to cut through crowded public conversations and deliver outcomes that are fundable, implementable, and sustainable.
-

industry taskforces and advisory groups
Our services combine policy insight, industry intelligence, and workforce strategy, translating complex workforce challenges into credible programs, funding pathways, and advocacy initiatives.
Skilled Migration, Mobility & Workforce Policy Advisory
-
Halo People supports organisations, regions, and industry bodies to navigate and shape workforce systems that intersect with skilled migration, mobility pathways, and public policy frameworks.
We work at the design and advisory level, helping clients align workforce needs with existing and emerging policy settings, without operating as migration agents or placement providers.
Our work includes:
translating workforce and capability needs into policy-aligned workforce strategies
advising on how skilled migration pathways intersect with domestic workforce planning
supporting engagement with relevant policy frameworks, including those administered by
the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations
Jobs and Skills Australia
state and regional workforce bodies
This ensures workforce strategies are credible, fundable, and policy-aware.
-
Halo People supports regions, councils, and industry groups in the development of DAMA-style workforce proposals and submissions, including:
workforce demand and capability analysis
industry consultation and evidence gathering
design of workforce ladders and progression pathways
alignment of local workforce development with skilled migration needs
preparation of government-ready business cases and briefing material
We work alongside registered migration agents and legal advisers where required, ensuring clear role separation and compliance
-
Halo People designs mobility frameworks that recognise how people actually move for work domestically and internationally.
This includes:
domestic mobility programs for regional or priority industries
international talent mobility as part of broader workforce strategies
integration of migration-enabled roles into long-term capability planning
alignment with training, upskilling, and progression pathways
The focus is on sustainable workforce access, not one-off migration fixes.

Supporting Global Businesses to Build Workforce Strategies in Australia
Halo People works with international organisations establishing or expanding operations in Australia to design workforce strategies that support sustainable growth from day one.
We help global businesses navigate the realities of the Australian labour market — including skills availability, regional variation, regulatory settings, and workforce expectations — while aligning local workforce needs with global capability strategies.
This includes:
workforce strategy design for market entry or expansion
assessment of local capability availability and constraints
integration of international talent with domestic workforce planning
alignment with Australian workforce policy and industry settings
design of scalable workforce models that support long-term growth
Our role is to ensure workforce strategy is proactive, structured, and policy-aware, rather than reactive or reliant on short-term hiring fixes.
Where appropriate, we support access to both local and international talent markets as part of a broader workforce architecture — working alongside internal teams, recruitment providers, and regulated specialists as required.
The focus is not on filling roles, but on building workforce models that allow global organisations to compete for capability successfully in Australia.
