We are guided by frameworks such as the Immunity to Change Model, Leadership Circle, Humanistic Leadership and Design Thinking to work through dilemmas and challenges.
About cil consulting & Counselling
We offer a unique blend of clinical and organisational services. Both Liz and Mat are experienced clinicians, leaders and consultants. We are passionate about offering public service organisations the support needed to innovate, change and lead during uncertain times.
Liz also works with children, young people and their families to enhance life possibilities and work through complex life challenges.
In 2017, Liz and Mat’s paths crossed at an organisational cultural change forum. Where in passing conversation they both identified there is a gap in change management, innovation and inspirational leadership. Over a coffee and on the back of a serviette they mapped out a concept to address the increasing demands on the public and community that is influenced by the pervasive lack of appropriate resources to make lasting change happen.
Lasting change starts with us as individuals and extends through to the team and the wider organisation. We are interesting in fostering transformational and innovative leadership practices, both as the author of own lives but also within organisations.
Our Consultants Liz Brnjak and Mathew Kerr have a vast range of experience at a practitioner level right through to Management and Executive Leadership both within Government Departments and non-for profits organisations.

who are we?
Mathew Kerr
Mat has a diverse and varied wealth of experience within the Government and Community Service Sector.
He started out with DHHS in Child Protection, before transitioning across to the non-for-profit sector in various project management and leadership positions within Early Childhood Services, Family Services, Family Violence, Mental Health, Primary Prevention and Disability. Mat is also an accomplished facilitator, with a collaborative and inclusive approach, where his focus is always on the Why? He has experience in creating and delivering programs and training to adults, adolescents and children in a variety of environments including CALD and Indigenous Communities.
Mat is outcome focused but is a strong advocate that for any position the key performance indicators need to include values and behaviour measures. His view is that you need to take a holistic view to any situation, examine the context and not only look from the top down, but also from the bottom up.
Mat is passionate about organisational change and believes that a good change
management process begins with taking staff on a journey. While Mat is experienced in recruitment, his focus is often on staff retention and professional development, while recognising that sometimes there is just a lack of fit, so performance management is the only option.
Mat is qualified in Training and Assessment and Government Investigations along with a variety of client centred risk assessments.
