Vision

To be the best provider of integrated consulting, commercial and legal services to government and large organisations.

We achieve this by being the first choice for people who value solving challenges together; with the skills, scale and personal touch to enable our people, clients, and communities to go further.

Proximity is a government first provider of multidisciplinary services, but our remit is much wider. We’ve helped clients in industry, the financial services sector, utilities, and the not-for-profit sector.

Our list of clients is as long as it is broad. It includes Defence, Human Services and everything in between, such as infrastructure, justice, digital transformation, complex policy, regulatory and service delivery portfolios.

Our clients come in all shapes and sizes.

We have worked with all major Commonwealth public sector agencies and across every area of government including:

• Department of Defence
• Department of Home Affairs
• Australian Taxation Office
• Department of Health
• Services Australia
• Department of Social Services

Proximity has also worked with a range of State and Territory Government clients.

Stronger together

We work with a broad range of professionals to help them achieve the best possible outcomes.

Our partner companies span finance, management consulting, technology and engineering.

We use a diverse range of suppliers including minority-owned, women-owned, disability-inclusive, as well as small and micro businesses for printing, design and merchandise.
