Reach out

We’re already looking forward to meeting you and your colleagues.

We’re here to help. Wether you have a request or a question.

Clean Energy Council (CEC)

We were looking for someone to drive a fresh approach to strategy development that would challenge our thinking, create positive energy and deliver a roadmap for our future.

Hinterland delivered with lots of creative thinking, fresh and energetic style and plenty of stimulating leadership.

I would recommend Hinterland to anyone who is looking for something different, to be stimulated and challenged in pursuit of a bigger strategy and purpose.

Kane Thornton, CEO, Clean Energy Council

Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF)

To create big change in the world, we need to think outside the box. Hinterland really helped us think differently.

I would recommend Hinterland to any organisation facing big, complex challenges and who need to shake things up!

States of Change

Hinterland worked with States of Change to design and deliver an immersive 6 month learning experience for two large cohorts of public servants from across Australia and New Zealand.

Hinterland brought not only considerable subject matter expertise on design and innovation; they also brought incredible warmth, patience and generosity to the learning experience. It was a genuine pleasure for facilitators and learners alike.
