Contractor Profile

Burgess and Sons Consulting has undertaken in excess of 600 misconduct, disciplinary, grievance and substandard performance (s79 Public Sector Management Act) investigations for over 100 organisations comprising WA state government agencies, in addition to numerous local government cities, towns and shires, commonwealth departments and private sector organisations throughout Western Australia from 1999 to the present, with particular and specific experience in successfully completing complex and sensitive investigations. As a former Breach of Public Sector Standards reviewer, a significant number of breach reviews have been undertaken initially for the Commissioner for Public Sector Standards and more recently for agencies requesting an independent assessment of a breach claim.

Peter has also tutored and lectured at university in a number of Management and Human Resources units at undergraduate (first second and third year) levels and postgraduate units, and spent five years as a Management Consultant with Ernst & Young.

All investigations are independent and are undertaken in a bias free and extremely thorough manner ensuring procedural fairness with a high degree of confidentiality with findings made only on the evidence presented, in an objective manner. With regard to grievance investigations that are subject to the Grievance Resolution Standard, reports are written that address all the issues raised in a grievance which ensures the minimum standard of merit, equity and probity as required by that standard is met, which precludes any subsequent breach claim submitted having substance. Disciplinary and misconduct investigations are written to a standard that meets the requirements of the WAIRC or the Fair Work Commission should a respondent submit a claim to either of those bodies.
