Good Business.
Made Better.

Turning social responsibility into competitive advantage.

We are The Fair Co.

We're a for‑purpose consultancy and registered social enterprise specialising in Social Procurement and the Social dimension of ESG. We work with forward-thinking businesses to build genuine social licence, navigate complex procurement requirements, embed inclusive workplace practices and transform ESG commitments from box-ticking exercises into strategic advantage.

Our unique capability lies in the part of social procurement not many consultancies touch: implementation, translating Government procurement policy and frameworks into practice. We bring end-to-end capability across Australia’s key Government procurement frameworks, offer sector-leading knowledge and hands-on experience on both sides of the procurement relationship. From strategy, planning and tender support, through to implementation, social benefit supplier connections, skills and employment programs, and right to the end with review and reporting.

Born in Victoria in 2019, with a growing national reach

The Fair Co. works with organisations of all shapes and sizes.

We bring practical, commercially grounded support to projects across a range of sectors.

In Victoria, we’re working with clients to achieve great outcomes for their business and the broader community through Victoria's Social Procurement Framework, and workforce inclusion related policies like Gender Equality Action Plans, and the Building Equality Plan.

Across Australia we partner with industry and the broader social enterprise sector to provide trusted advice to decision makers and businesses seeking to establish social procurement policy and harness it in practice.

“Your team’s support has been invaluable in reaching this stage, getting comfortable to complete the work around meeting our obligatory requirements.”

"Working with Jobsbank (now The Fair Co.) was a targeted way to provide opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and others who might be experiencing difficulty."

~ Damien Hodgkinson, Executive Director, Melbourne International Comedy Festival

"The Fair Co provided that expertise across both Victorian and Commonwealth policy frameworks, translating requirements into clear evaluation criteria and delivering structured analysis of bidder submissions. Their advice was practical, well-reasoned, and gave us confidence in the decisions we ultimately made."
