We’re a small yet highly capable and professional team, ready to collaborate and achieve the results our clients need.

Dr Jamie Seaton is our Director and Principal Consultant. He has around 15 years’ experience conducting social research and community engagement programs, underpinned by skills acquired during his social research PhD. Jamie is an exemplary social impact assessment and community engagement practitioner.

Kim Seaton is our extremely efficient Operations Manager. Courtesy of her Environmental Science degree qualification and experience working in large Government and private organisations, Kim excels at social data collection, analysis and project reporting. Kim is responsible for the business processes and systems that enable the smooth delivery of projects for our clients.

Regardless of the scope of work, here are six other factors that make The Social Aspect the consultancy of choice:

1. We have a comprehensive knowledge of best social practice and community engagement

2. We’ve worked with top tier and small businesses in both public and private organisations

3. All sectors have benefitted from our work - resources, renewables, education, transport, health, tourism and waste to name a few

4. Our ability to build positive relationships is advanced, this includes relationships with regulators, site neighbours, concerned residents, industry stakeholders, businesses and our clients

5. Major projects are our niche and we’ve demonstrated our expertise on State Significant Developments and Critical State Significant Infrastructure

6. We’re not a big machine consultancy. There are no excessive overheads, junior staff, complex systems, or multiple contact points in our business. So we’re easy to work with and cost competitive.
