We understand the communication challenges organisations face – new technologies, more platforms, a crowded environment, a frantically busy, increasingly discerning and cynical public.
The global appetite for information and communication continues to escalate and so do expectations, whether you’re a public, private or not-for-profit organisation – strategic, clever, timely and influential communication is critical to your success.
Your communication must be multi-channeled, personalised and targeted.

What our clients say
I have absolutely no hesitation in acknowledging the excellent assistance that OPF Consulting has committed to Crime Stoppers in the Canberra Region, and nationally, especially over the past five years.
OPF Consulting has made an outstanding commitment to Crime Stoppers by investing considerable time and creative thought in delivering strategic marketing and communications support services that have resulted in increased public engagement, which has resulted in a greater awareness of the vital role Crime Stoppers plays in our community. OPF Consulting’s capacity to develop clever graphic design and produce marketing collateral, and support Crime Stoppers’ social media investment and community engagement has been first class.
OPF Consulting has been at the forefront – obtaining excellent media coverage to support Crime Stoppers in achieving excellent results in the launch and conduct of all of its campaign and event activations. Notably, the 2016 Dob in a Dealer Campaign, the 2015 and 2016 Operation ROAM campaigns, targeting Crime Stoppers’ Most Wanted Fugitives, and the 2014 – 2017 Canberra Region Local Suburbs Crime Awareness Campaigns.
I have found the OPF Consulting team to be highly creative, professional and friendly, making Crime Stoppers’ working relationship with them to be effective, thoroughly enjoyable and highly successful.
“Early in 2016, OPF Consulting and Diana Forrester did a great job media training our Guild Pharmacy of the Year finalists. The session covered lots of basic concepts around media engagement and media responses, as well as some excellent practice interviews to bring alive the media experience. We’re confident the participants learned a lot from the session and benefitted from OPF’s expertise.”
Greg Turnbull, Pharmacy Guild of Australia“OPF Consulting developed and implemented a comprehensive communications plan for the commencement of a previously contentious waste management and resource recovery proposal. They also took responsibility for a range of associated initiatives including the development of a website, public messaging via a range of media and all aspects of project branding. We could not be happier with our decision to engage OPF for this critical assignment.”
Sharon Beaven, Hopewood“OPF Consulting assisted RSPCA ACT with a small but important media project. They provided timely and wise advice, developed a strategy, which met the needs of the project and executed it professionally and effectively. I was particularly impressed with their capacity to listen to their client’s views. OPF Consulting were a pleasure to work with and I commend them to you.”
Louise Douglas, RSPCA ACT“OPF Consulting developed and implemented a comprehensive communications plan for the commencement of a previously contentious waste management and resource recovery proposal.

We could not be happier with our decision to engage OPF for this critical assignment.”
Lee Smith, Patons Lane RRC“It was a pleasure working with OPF Consulting on the national Operation ROAM – Fugitive Hunt campaign in 2016. They secured significant national media coverage, created effective digital promotional collateral and efficiently co-ordinated its distribution to all Australian Crime Stoppers jurisdictions. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend OPF Consulting.”
Trevor O'Hara, Crime Stoppers Australia
OPF has provided media and communications guidance and support to the Regional Australia Institute since mid-2014, making a substantial contribution to the organisation’s overall success. They are very responsive and attentive to the organisation’s needs, often in short time frames. They have sought to develop a deep understanding of what our organisation is seeking to achieve and provide helpful advice. They have a proactive approach to media engagement and outreach which has secured a range of national and regional media coverage for RAI publications and campaigns.
Jack Archer, Regional Australia Institute“The Canberra Symphony Orchestra worked closely with Diana Forrester and the team at OPF for the marketing, PR and event management of our International Opera Gala in July 2017. This was a large project funded by the Commonwealth and German governments with multiple stakeholders in Australia and overseas. The CSO engaged OPF very late in the exercise with a large brief and a small budget. To say that OPF delivered on the job is an understatement. From timelines, digital engagement and briefings, to interviews and successfully connecting the CSO to new partners, the output from OPF was tremendous and the results were beyond our expectations.”
“Working with OPF was transformational for us. As a new company with big goals in its sights, we are grateful to OPF for quickly seeing the potential in our work and translating it into a PR plan with a bang.
Their passion for our mission was heartening. OPF helped us achieve great results with a spot on ABC’s 7:30 Report, a double-page spread in Woman’s Day and commentary in an article featured in all leading Fairfax publications.
OPF helped us to build Hireup as a trustworthy and valuable company, not an easy feat when you’re working with something so new and different from the consumer’s perspective.”
