About Us

An HR consulting firm that helps you do the right thing by the people you care about.

The future of outsourced HR is here…

The Australian employment landscape is one of the most complex systems in the world. It’s evolving rapidly and isn’t set to slow down anytime soon.  With so many changes to legislation and policies happening all the time, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed – especially when it comes to doing right by your people.

The key to keeping up with your responsibilities and staying compliant is knowing that you’re not alone. Your people are your most important asset, especially in business, and Now (Actually) is the best time to invest in the people who invest in you.

It’s about being compliant and people-first

Now Actually is a purpose-driven HR consulting firm on a mission to make a positive social impact. From mentoring our team to educating you and your people on HR best practice, it’s possible to be both compliant and people first. You don’t have to give up one for the other – in fact, in our experience, compliance makes it easier to look after your team. Whether you’ve just started a business and want to get it right from day one, or you’ve been in the game for years and need to optimise what you’ve got, compliance is achievable at any level.  All you need is the know-how, a willingness to learn and the right outsourced HR partner.

It’s about adaptability, autonomy and recognition

It’s no secret that the world of work is changing. As a business, adaptability is key. We’ve found that our most successful clients are the ones that support and engage their teams by harnessing HR to create custom solutions to today’s biggest problems, like work-life balance, workload pressure and the cost of living crisis.

It’s why after more than a decade working in HR client-side, our Founder Jenna Paulin decided to strike out on her own and start Now Actually. The goal? To build an adaptable workforce that not only supports clients with their HR needs, but offers better work/life balance to the team.  For us, it all starts and ends with people.

FOR US, IT ALL STARTS AND ENDS WITH PEOPLE.

But it’s about more than just managing people

As a proactive HR consulting firm, Now Actually exists to solve your ‘people problems’ so you can focus on doing your best work. Yes, you can outsource your HR to us, but it’s not about buying our Advisors’ time.

Your business is unique and no two are the same: it’s why we design and deliver our work around your needs and goals.

Our HR advisors understand your HR needs

With experience from a variety of different industries, their superpower is in how they support you and your people with custom-design solutions, not cookie-cutter quick fixes.

The way Now Actually is set up means we’ve got the flexibility to truly partner with you in outsourced HR to get the best out of your people, especially during times of great change, like restructures, scaling, mergers and more.

Now (Actually) is the best time to outsource your HR needs to us. Get business sorted, plan for growth and take care of your people, too.
