What an evening. ✨

A big thank you to the Hunter Business Women's Network for putting on such a special night.
Last night our very own Elizabeth and Jaimie joined an incredible room of women - leaders, emerging leaders, business owners, and everything in between - to hear Christine Clarke CSC speak on something that really matters: how women can hold space, make space, and take space in leadership.

Christine's story is remarkable - 38 years in the Royal Australian Navy, Commanding Officer of Australia's largest Navy base, and Australia's Ambassador for Women and Girls. But the way she shared it? Generous, grounded, and genuinely empowering.

We left feeling inspired, a little more courageous, and so grateful for the women in this region who show up and invest in each other.

If you were there - we'd love to know what landed most for you. 💬

Is there any better way to start a midweek meeting than with a game of bingo?

Huge props to Jaimie for bringing the energy this morning - equal parts traditional caller and roast comedian. The classics were in full swing, the personal digs were perfectly timed, and the whole team was in stitches before 9.15am.

And a big congrats to Ciaran for taking the win - pure skill, obviously!

This is the GWG way. 👏

Are finance salaries still rising in Newcastle and the Hunter?

We're still seeing strong demand for finance professionals across the region, particularly in accounting, commercial finance, payroll and business partnering roles.

While salary remains important, today's candidates are looking at the bigger picture - flexibility, career growth, leadership and workplace culture are all playing a bigger role in decision making.

If you're hiring, retaining staff or considering your next career move, understanding current market conditions is essential.

Another great result - and this one really means a lot to us. 🌟

Helping someone find not just a job, but the right role is exactly why we do what we do. A huge congratulations to this candidate on their new executive role as Chief Financial Officer with our valued client. We know that together, they’re going to do great things.

A big thank you for the kind words. Reviews like this remind us why putting people first always matters more than ticking boxes.

Long weekends look a little different for everyone – and that's exactly what we love about them.

From sightseeing adventures in Japan and family camping trips in the Hunter Valley, to cheering on the Matildas, mountain biking in Mogo, backyard marshmallow sessions with family, and catching up with friends closer to home, our team made the most of the extra day.

Now we're back in the office, refreshed, recharged and ready for the week ahead.

How did you spend your long weekend?

🎉 Meet two of our newest Senior Consultants!

We'll be honest - Ciaran and Susana have been quietly smashing it at GWG for a little while now. We've just been a touch slow on the official introduction!

Please give an overdue welcome to:

👷 Ciaran McGreevy, Senior Consultant in our Engineering team, with years of experience across infrastructure, transport, water, energy and civil engineering. He hit the ground running and hasn't looked back. Also genuinely hilarious, which helps.

👩‍💼 Susana Santos, Senior Consultant in our Business Support division, covering Administration, Executive Support, Customer Service, Coordination and Operational roles. Organised, passionate and meticulous - she's been a brilliant addition from the start.

Sorry for the delay, you two - you absolutely deserve this shoutout! 💙

Drop a 👋 in the comments to give them the welcome they should have had sooner! 😄

Most salary conversations start too late.

By the time someone's handing in their resignation, benchmarking their pay feels like an afterthought.

The 2026 Newcastle Salary Guide covers 300+ roles across 20 industries - engineering, tech, finance, HR, marketing and more. Real data from right here in the Hunter, not national averages that don't reflect our market.

If you're a leader, use it before your next review cycle. If you're a professional, use it before your next conversation.
