The Wander Collective
Strategy, governance, engagement and events shaped for regional Western Australia.
The Wander Collective is a strategic consultancy working with state and local government, Aboriginal Corporations, not-for-profits, peak bodies, industry and regional businesses across Western Australia.
Their work starts with understanding what is really getting in the way. Whether an organisation needs clearer direction, stronger governance, better stakeholder engagement, more effective communications or practical support to deliver a complex project, Wander combines strategic thinking with hands-on delivery.
Two arms. One practical approach.
Wander Consulting provides strategy, governance, stakeholder and community engagement, communications, advisory and light-touch evaluation support for organisations navigating complex challenges in regional and remote contexts.
Wander Around Events designs and delivers purpose-driven events including business conferences, community forums, industry gatherings, arts initiatives and regional activations that connect people and help move projects forward.
Wander works differently because regional context is central to the way they operate. The team lives and works in regional Western Australia and understands that distance, relationships, history, capacity and local dynamics all shape whether a strategy or project will actually succeed.
Managing Directors Claire Bateman and Jade Malanczak bring decades of combined experience across state and local government, resources, First Nations organisations, the arts, not-for-profits and small business. They remain closely involved in projects from start to finish, supported by a trusted network of specialist collaborators when additional expertise is needed.
Wander supports organisations that need more than a report or a set of recommendations. Their focus is on practical, place-based work that creates clarity, strengthens organisations and turns ideas into meaningful outcomes for regional communities.
Place-Based Impact
