About SMA

SMA's Principal Partners, Fiona Southwell and Stephen Murphy, have over 40 years experience in their specialised areas in both the public and private sectors both in Australia and internationally. All SMA consultants have high level skills and experience in their particular areas of expertise as well as exceptional client focus and the highest levels of professional standards and ethics. SMA consultants work together as a collaborative team to deliver optimum results for our clients.

We are a boutique agency and as such we only take on work we have the capacity and the desire to undertake and deliver the outcomes our clients want. When selected for a job our clients receive the complete focus of our Partners, nominated Associates and Consultants.

Our preferred way of engaging with clients is as a strategic partner. This approach has many benefits including:

  • Increased understanding of our clients’ requirements, their business and the environment in which they operate
  • Clients are involved in the design, development, delivery and evaluation of strategies/solutions to the extent that they want to be
  • Working with SMA provides our clients’ with enhanced internal management capability through experiential learning and knowledge sharing

As a boutique agency our overhead costs are low, therefore our consulting fees are substantially lower than other larger organisations with commiserate expertise. We guarantee that no unnecessary costs are passed onto our clients and our initial consultation with our clients is free of charge.

SMA has relocated its Head Office to Old Bar Beach on the Mid-North
Coast of New South Wales, Australia. We also maintain a presence in Canberra, Melbourne, Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast through our Associates. This network approach enables SMA to provide flexible and high-quality services to clients.  SMA personnel are able and willing to travel to any destination within the Asia Pacific Region.
