The organisations shaping food policy aren't waiting
Your submission shouldn't either
Most organisations don’t have that capacity. And when a submission window opens, the pressure to respond quickly – with evidence that actually holds up – falls on a team that’s already stretched.
The cost of a poorly evidenced submission isn’t just a missed opportunity. It’s your organisation’s credibility with the bodies that shape the regulatory environment your products operate in.
Outsource your food & nutrition policy advice for rock-solid submissions
Over 10+ years, some of Australia’s leading food organisations and industry bodies have brought me in to conduct the research and develop the evidence base behind their policy responses.
What makes the difference between a submission that lands and one that doesn’t?
Evidence-based communication, a deep understanding of the food policy landscape, and the ability to translate complex science into clear, compelling recommendations.
That's what I bring to every policy project.

“GLNC engaged Courtney Stewart from NPR consulting to assist in the collation of articles for the first round of the Australian Dietary Guidelines industry submission process. Courtney utilised a thorough search strategy based on the NHMRC requirements and review of the available literature that was fit-for-purpose. Good quality, peer-reviewed literature relevant to the search question was obtained from her search strategy highlighting her ability to comprehensively conduct an Umbrella review. Courtney’s work was of such a high-quality we have engaged her to conduct a second scoping review for GLNC updating the evidence on grains and legumes. We found Courtney’s approach very professional, responsive and the work of an exceptional level. We believe she would be an asset to any research project.”
