What our clients say

  • Local Government Professionals WA

    Sarah as a practitioner herself really understood the valuable work delivered by community development professionals. During the training co-design process she connected with stakeholders at a deep level to ensure the training program content reflected the needs of the sector. Sarah was methodical and flexible in her approach, and her facilitation style was collaborative and always aimed to enhance the skill set of the participants by leveraging the collective wisdom in the group, in addition to her strong practical experiences in the field.

  • Mercy Care

    Sarah brings people together and sees the connections and synergies between organisations and institutions. She is able to take ideas and content and weaves them together to turn a concept into something tangible.

  • Anglicare WA

    Sarah's ability to design a training program that was both relevant to our diverse service delivery context and aligned to our strategic vision resulted in lasting and transformative outcomes for our organisation. It is without a doubt that services across our organisation are now using the learnings from the training program to capitalise on opportunities to work with community in new and innovative ways.

  • Young Australia League (YAL)

    Our outcomes framework was always a high priority for us and while we had fragmented pieces of the project, we hadn't had the time, expertise or personnel to pull it together. With Sarah's guidance, we now have a critical part of our business goals achieved.

    Sarah took all of our ideas and brought them to life in a way that exceeded our expectations. Her creativity and attention to detail transformed our concepts into reality.

  • City of Melville

    Sarah's approach to delivering the service was excellent. Sarah was flexible, personable, and efficient and we always felt we were on the same page.

  • City of Rockingham

    We valued Sarah's attentiveness, clear communication, professionalism, flexibility, high quality of work, and her understanding of the environment in which this project and report were to be utilised. We also very much appreciated the ability to pivot the project and work with us to achieve the end goal.

    Sarah provided excellent impartial community consultation to inform the development of the report, quality data analysis, and report development with suggestions for improvements we could make. The addition of the visual summary has been an exceptional element gaining much value for internal stakeholders and no doubt, the wider community.

  • Mirrabooka District Leadership Group

    Sarah has great skills in facilitation and utilises a range of contemporary tools to achieve outcomes. She has developed strategic plans, outcome-based implementation plans, and business cases. Sarah specialises in understanding and responding to the unique needs of our diverse communities.

  • Befriend Inc.

    Lots to like about Janali & Co!

    The warm working relationship together, the collaborative style, Sarah's deep respect for the uniqueness of our organisation, her generosity in pursuing other avenues for accessing vital information, and her strength in synthesising and presenting information in clear and helpful ways.

    Working with Sarah helped us gain more clarity and understanding of the complex situation that we're in. This new level of understanding gives us a stronger ground from which to embark upon the next stage of development work, in order to realise more effective and resilient ways of working with community.
