Practical HR & people support for small businesses.  

I support Scenic Rim and South East Queensland business owners with their HR, leadership, and people priorities — helping you build confidence, consistency, and capability as your business grows.

Most people challenges come back to three things: clarity, consistency, or culture.

My role is to help you strengthen all three — whether that’s setting solid HR foundations, developing your team, or supporting change as your business evolves.

I work alongside you to understand what’s happening in your business, prioritise what matters most, and deliver practical support that fits your goals, your values, and your stage of growth.

The result is a workplace where people decisions are consistent, your team feels supported, and the business is positioned to grow with confidence.

2. Local and accessible
Based in the Scenic Rim, I provide face-to-face HR support across Boonah, Kalbar, Beaudesert and surrounding areas, as well as remote support when needed.

3. Tailored to your business

Our Services

  • A clear starting point for your people foundations

    Running a business is busy enough without second-guessing whether your people systems are solid.

    This free HR Health Check gives you a plain-English snapshot of where your current systems, practices, and processes are supporting the business - and where small gaps could turn into bigger issues if left unattended.

    You’ll gain clarity on priorities and a clearer sense of what to focus on next.

  • Focused support to tackle what matters most

    If you’ve got one or two people issues or HR tasks you want sorted properly - without overcomplicating things - this is a practical place to start. With HR Help, we focus on the priorities that matter most right now, whether that’s improving systems, putting clearer foundations in place, or preparing for a conversation.

    You’ll get tailored support, clear outcomes, and confidence that things are being handled calmly, fairly, and properly.

  • Focused people support to strengthen capability and embed change

    Sometimes the next step isn’t just fixing an HR issue - it’s developing your team, embedding new ways of working, or delivering a specific people or leadership initiative. This three-month focus allows us to work together on a defined area of priority, combining strategic thinking with hands-on delivery so change is implemented well and actually sticks.

About Cathy

I’ve spent over 25 years in HR, leadership, and organisational development, partnering with businesses and government organisations across Queensland. I’ve seen firsthand how the right mix of people, systems, and support can transform a workplace — and the people within it.

Based in the Scenic Rim, I value being part of a region built on strong relationships, community, and small-business spirit. It felt important to make my HR and coaching experience accessible to the businesses that contribute so much to this community.

I created Scenic HR and Coaching to bring practical, down-to-earth HR support, leadership coaching, and team workshops to small and medium businesses across the Scenic Rim and surrounding areas - helping owners build clarity, capability, and confidence in their people practices.

It’s not about red tape or generic templates — it’s about creating people practices that fit your business, your team, and your values.
