About Parker & Partners

P&P is Australia’s leading bi-partisan public affairs specialist. Our consultancy, with offices in Canberra, Sydney and Melbourne, offers a team of experienced advisers in state and federal government, lobbying, media management, issues and crises, sustainability, health policy and research. We will provide you with comprehensive advice and assistance in implementing successful public affairs solutions.

Every issue is typically influenced by politics. This is the essence of public affairs. "Politics" does not just mean the work of our houses of parliament or debates at a political party conference. Politics, in our world, refers to the nation's body politic. At P&P we consider the impact of media, communities and local, state and federal governments on issues, relationships, reputations, problems and commercial opportunities.

We offer a unique understanding and access to different networks, including ministerial offices, parliamentarians, advisers, bureaucracy, state and federal press galleries, specialist media, industry and community groups and other key agenda influencers.

P&P was formed in 1998 and has grown from an initial team of three Canberra-based political consultants to a three-state, 25 strong team that is now one of the largest dedicated public affairs firms in the country. P&P is a part of Ogilvy PR Worldwide in Australia, the country's largest public relations and public affairs firm.

Over 2005 and 2006 P&P was awarded the prestigious PRIA Gold Award in the ACT for our work for the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade as well as PR Week's 'Public Affairs Campaign of the Year' and media and issues management awards for our work for WMC, 3M, Emirates, the Heart Foundation and Carers Australia.
