Our Managing Director, Sarah Jezzini, leads our team.
With over a decade of specialised academic and professional experience, I am a recognised expert in workplace and employment matters, with advanced capability in psychosocial risk management, organisational liability, regulatory compliance, and systems-based workforce design. My work spans senior strategic advisory, complex workplace investigations, national research initiatives, and enterprise-level workforce interventions, underpinned by a multidisciplinary foundation in psychology, law, human resources, industrial relations, and work health and safety.
I hold a Bachelor of Psychological Science (First Class Honours), a Master of Business Law, and a Master of Commerce specialising in Industrial Relations. During my Juris Doctor studies, I completed a thesis examining reasonable management action as a legal defence to psychological injury claims. I am currently completing a Master of Organisational Psychology and have undertaken doctoral research in Psychology, Work Health and Safety, and Human Factors at the University of Queensland. I am a provisionally registered psychologist.
My investigative and expert portfolio includes complex matters involving workplace bullying, sexual harassment, occupational violence, discrimination, corrupt conduct, serious misconduct, workers’ compensation claims, and the identification and management of psychosocial and physical hazards. I have appeared before the Fair Work Commission and have authored expert reports for the Personal Injury Commission (NSW), the District and Supreme Courts of New South Wales, the County and Supreme Courts of Victoria, and the Supreme Court of the Australian Capital Territory. My approach integrates legal, psychological, and safety frameworks to deliver procedurally fair, evidence-based, and methodologically rigorous opinions.
I am recognised for bridging academic research and applied practice, translating complex empirical findings into clear, decision-relevant insights for regulators, executive leaders, legal practitioners, and safety professionals. In addition to my expert and investigative work, I have extensive consulting experience across work health and safety, workforce strategy, and industrial relations. This includes the delivery of strategic workforce planning and resourcing solutions such as workforce modelling, skills gap analysis, and talent mapping across sectors including mining, construction, manufacturing, information technology, aged care, and the NDIS. I have also provided market-informed remuneration benchmarking, overseen recruitment strategy, and advised executive teams on attraction and retention approaches aligned with legislative, industrial, and award frameworks.
I have designed and implemented industry-specific WHS policies and procedures, conducted complex investigations, and advised on compliance and risk mitigation strategies across health, aged care, education, NDIS, retail, mining, construction, manufacturing, and transport sectors. My work is characterised by the integration of multidisciplinary principles to support sustainable safety outcomes and the development of high-performing, psychologically and physically safe workplaces. I also deliver employer and executive training on WHS compliance, return-to-work obligations, workers’ compensation, psychosocial hazard management, and sexual harassment prevention.
Throughout my career, I have supported organisations through complex industrial relations matters, including performance management, termination, dispute resolution, and engagement with workers’ compensation insurers. I have worked closely with government, industry, and regulatory bodies to advocate for improved workforce, safety, and governance frameworks. My career reflects a rare combination of academic depth and applied expertise, united by a sustained commitment to strengthening organisational systems, enhancing workforce capability, and advancing safe, lawful, and inclusive work environments.
