Two leading Australian disability service providers with a long history of disability care – House with No Steps and The Tipping Foundation – were about to merge, along with the addition of more than 80 government homes.

The merger was considered particularly complex, with offices, homes and care facilities located across metro and regional Australia, an evolving National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) that was changing the face of disability care, and more than 5,000 staff hailing from radically different government and not-for-profit sectors.

Add to this the complexity of a customer base of clients with disabilities requiring tailored care and communication, and staff that were transitioning from government to non-government roles.

Brand Council provided a recommended approach to a) internal stakeholder consultation and b) brand strategy development. The approach would uncover existing internal stakeholder perceptions and ensure deep engagement and ownership of the process, new brand, and expected staff behaviours. This ensured
successful brand development and the merger of all parties.
