Why organisations come to us for government relations

Clients approach Purple when government is a critical stakeholder, whether they need to progress a major project, navigate complex approvals, inform policy outcomes or manage unintended consequences of previous decisions. Many organisations struggle to articulate their purpose clearly, identify government priorities, or identify the correct stakeholders needed to progress an outcome. We help leaders understand the landscape, prepare strong narratives, and create pathways that build trust and move legitimate projects forward.

How we support

We provide strategic government engagement, fully registered lobbying, policy advisory support and approval navigation for exploration, mining, minerals processing, infrastructure, property, energy and renewable energy developments. Our work spans early positioning, ministerial engagement, cross-agency negotiation and long-term relationship development. We combine political literacy with communication expertise to help clients achieve meaningful outcomes.

What makes Purple different

  • Registered, non-partisan and transparent lobbying capability
  • Deep WA political, agency and industry insight, a clear market differentiator
  • Experienced in multi-agency and overlapping approval processes (State/Federal)
  • Strong networks across government, regulators and industry

Examples of our work

Supported a renewables developer through ministerial and departmental engagement to progress a $500m energy project.

Advised a major property group on WA planning pathways, helping secure critical government endorsements.

Guided an infrastructure consortium through complex state-level approvals involving multiple agencies and community stakeholders.

When major sector change occurs, we shift the conversation from policy to people. We help clients communicate what’s actually at stake, so the message cuts through and lands where it matters.

When policy decisions can shape the WA economy, we help clients make their voice heard. We keep the message clear, draw on trusted relationships and focus on outcomes that matter beyond the room.

Some of the most meaningful work we do unfolds slowly. When communities and organisations are in genuine tension, there's no shortcut to resolution. It takes patience, real listening and the kind of trust that builds over time.

My work with rural and regional organisations is based on trust. Personal connection and understanding are at the core of what we do at Purple. It's what drives the work I do and the results we deliver.

In highly regulated industries, good ideas don't always speak for themselves. Getting them across the line takes the right expertise across government advocacy, media management and strategic positioning. We work with clients through every stage of that journey, not just the moments that feel urgent.

Our most effective work is measured by its ability to shift behaviour in meaningful, lasting ways. We achieve this by working with trusted voices who bring lived experience within their communities. When messages are carried by the right people, they gain authenticity, resonate more deeply and extend their influence well beyond the limits of traditional campaign channels.
