Who we work with
We are privileged to work with organisations committed to making a real difference in healthcare.
Huron Studer Group Australasia was established in 2005 bringing together consultants and coaches from across the healthcare, aged care and disability industry. Since that time we have worked with more than 150 organisations across Australia, New Zealand, Asia and the Middle East, providing coaching, consultancy, workshops and development programs.
We have worked with organisations of all sizes, from large to small, across regional, rural and metropolitan areas.
We are proud to share with you some of the things our clients have to say about us.
“In October of 2023, I assumed the role of CEO at St Vincents Private Hospital, Lismore. My first action was to announce the adoption of Studer Group as our Leadership Framework. Having previously implemented Studer Group (12) twelve years prior at the Friendly Society Private Hospital in Bundaberg, I was fully aware of how effective this framework is in turning and guiding Values based culture. The early establishment of a new Strategic Plan with clear Vision and Values, was paramount in implementing one of the many Studer Group tactics such as “Above and Below the Line Behaviour” to engage with employees and doctors and build a culture of Accountability. In less than (1) one year, we have seen a substantial positive cultural change, where the (9) Nine Principles® guide decision making, employees are expressing a renewed passion for change and our expert Studer Group Coaches keep us moving along our planned journey. Studer Group is a proven universal Evidence-Based Leadership℠ strategy which has been the framework for my management for the past 13 years.”
Alan Cooper, Chief Executive Officer, St Vincent’s Private Hospital, Lismore
“Northeast Health Wangaratta continues to benefit greatly from a close and valued partnership with the Studer Group. The implementation of our ‘Hardwiring Excellence’ program gives us the necessary framework to drive our Vision: to be recognised leaders in rural health care. We have experienced significant improvement in all KPIs since implementing the Studer program, and we commend the consistently high standard of support and coaching we continue to receive. I strongly recommend the Studer program to CEOs who want to lead sustainable change and transform organisational culture.”

“Hunter New England Health is building a culture of Excellence – Every Patient, Every Time. This is being led from the top by our Chief Executive Michael DiRienzo and with strong support and leadership from our Board and Executive Leadership Team. It involves our whole team – over 15,000 staff, visiting medical officers and volunteers across a geographic area the size of England. We have valued the practical support and partnership from Studer Group Australia. With Studer’s help, we have clarified expectations of leaders and staff and built a strong and supportive program so people can meet these expectations. We take heart from gradual and sustained improvements in our performance across a range of quality, safety and activity measures. But we won’t rest until we are confident that we deliver Excellence – Every Patient, Every Time. People living in the Hunter New England district deserve no less.”
Jane Gray, Director Innovation Support, Hunter New England Local Health District
