Customer Love
Here’s a few of the customers I’ve been able to help drive performance with their team of employees. Read these 5 star Google Reviews 
We recently had a workplace issue and called Sonia of King HR Consultants to assist us. She facilitated a dispute resolution which has resulted in a positive outcome for all. We have been able to get everyone on track. We uncovered some interesting dynamics in the process. And the tools and tips Sonia provided were invaluable to keep everyone rolling along smoothly. I highly recommend Sonia of King HR Consultants for any workplace issues and her human resources consulting. We will be using her services again!I really like this document, (the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander business, HR Manual) that I purchased from you. I particularly like the cultural input and lengthy pregnancy sections. As an Indigenous woman team these two elements are extremely important to document at the beginning of employment. Your advice on how to customise it for my business and work mob has been invaluable. Your approach to working with people from different backgrounds and cultural identities is refreshing. I feel like you are a true ally and sister to me and my business. And my work mob. Thank you for being you and providing such a great service. Not just documents but how to use them to protect my business and my mob."We recently engaged King HR Consultants to advise us on HR best practices for our team. As an Indigenous Australian business providing family dispute resolution and mediation services to the Kempsey Aboriginal Community, it was crucial that the HR products, services, and language respect cultural safety rights and be appropriate for our local Mob. The HR Manual and employment agreements provided by King HR Consultants met our needs perfectly and were easily adaptable to suit our specific requirements. Sonia's guidance and culturally sensitive approach have been invaluable, and we greatly appreciate her support."We recently purchased the Trades Installation package from King HR Consultants and we’re so pleased that we now have a more streamlined HR process to ensure we are complying with two regulatory bodies, The Fair Work Act and Safe Work Australia. We’ve also been delighted with the generous assistance we’ve received to embed the process into our business. Working with King HR has been an excellent experience and I highly recommend their services.I have been working with King Consulting for the last couple of years and have appreciated Sonia's open, honest and thoughtful outlook to working with me and my business. As a First Nations business owner we have added complexities of working and walking between two worlds and that can need a culturally sensitive approach. Sonia is always fast to respond while also taking time to help me understand complex HR matters. I am particularly annoying with my busy diary but Sonia has always found a way to work around it. Highly recommend reaching out to Sonia rather than struggling on on your own when HR matters are getting on top of you.During my recent studies in leadership and management, I had the privilege of being taught by Sonia King. Her expertise in Australian employment regulations and laws, coupled with her profound wisdom, has been invaluable. Beyond the curriculum, her guidance provided me with a wealth of knowledge. I am truly grateful for her exceptional teaching, genuine care, and respect for her students.For all your HR needs "King HR Consultancy"is the Place to Go 😊Fabulous service by Sonia and she has been a big help! Fair Work policies and SCHADS Award use complex language and she helped us by researching for information and translating (simplifying the language) so we can understand. Thank you so much!Sonia recently hired me for a role with one of her clients. Throughout the process I found her to really connect with me, get to understand me as a person, not just my skills and experience as a fit to the role. She has continued to demonstrate her interest in, not just looking after the employing business, but also to make sure the fit has been right for me too. During the interview process and ongoing, Sonia has demonstrated compliance and respect for social distancing while still making everyone feel comfortable, at ease and connected. I recommend Sonia and King Consulting HR&R to both employers and employees as a consultant who truly has everyone’s best interests at heart. And you can read testimonials and Case Studies.

We engaged King HR Consultants early 2023, to help with our team of employees. We met with Sonia, the founder, and found her to be, down to earth, kind, and friendly. And able to speak to anyone at their level. We have a diverse team. From administrative people to truck drivers, transport workers and landscape yard people. So, it was important that the people we engaged could relate to anyone. Sonia was not afraid to get her hands dirty. She would arrive in steal cap boots and could speak the right language to anyone to engage them.

” I recommend Sonia and her business King HR Consultants to any business. Especially if you’re looking to grow. From the initial HR audit process, they showed us how to install HR best practice. Then they helped us streamline our staff engagement. They installed our HR manual with all company policies and procedures. Ensuring we have evidence that we’re complying with all regulations. Such as the Fair Work Act, Government regulations and Safe Work Australia. Provided all our team with terms and conditions of employment agreements. We now have an engaged team who help us drive profits in our business. For which they receive performance bonuses. King HR Consultants have helped establish us as a market leader. And been integral to achieving our profit targets each year since”
