Don't just take my word for it. Here's what some of the businesses I've worked with have to say.
“Karla's expertise is invaluable. Finding someone whose ethics are aligned with my own, has allowed me to bounce ideas off her, and use her as a sounding board. I appreciate Karla staying on top of changes to policy and then explaining it to me in a way I understand. The cognitive load this reduces for me allows me to spend time on the other aspects of the business that I enjoy so much more! ”
Laura C .
Teacher
“Karla was incredibly helpful with the process of starting as an independent allied health worker. She helped me navigate multiple policies and procedures, and shared her immense knowledge passionately while making sure that I was aware of everything that would apply to me in my scope of practice and within NDIS guidelines.”
Jenny J .
Speech Pathologist
“Couldn’t recommend more!!! I was a sole trader OT who quickly found myself hiring 4 full time therapists - I reached out to Karla and she was immediately reassuring and provided so much support and guidance! Karla supported me with all policies needed as well as employment contracts at a very reasonable price for all services provided. 10/10 recommend.”

Experienced HR advice, with a personal approach.
I'm Karla, the founder of Scope & Sequence Consulting.
With over a decade of HR experience, I work alongside business owners and leaders to make managing people simpler.
My experience spans the full HR function, from employment compliance and employee relations to workforce management, organisational change and HR systems.
I've worked closely with small and medium businesses, particularly in allied health, disability and community services, and understand the practical challenges that come with managing a workforce while running a business.
I believe good HR should be practical, accessible and tailored to the realities of your business. No unnecessary jargon, no overcomplicated processes – just knowledgeable support and solutions that work.
