Nicole Dunbar

I am a professional and qualified consultant with a strong background in bids, tender and grants - I love working with businesses to articulate what makes them special and craft a persuasive narrative help them stand out in a crowded field.

My experience includes leading large multimillion dollar tender projects and several retention and expansion tender projects supporting organisations in developing strategies to both enter and expand their market share. My work spans across diverse industry sectors, my portfolio includes national and local employment and human services providers, global technology corporations, social enterprise organisations, resource recovery and waste management companies and education and training organisations.

I can support you with a range of services, adaptable to meet your needs, for example my most popular services include:
• Response structure and planning
• Adaptation and creation of written content
• Content capture from SME's​​​
• Evidence and proof points capture
• Case study development
• Application review and feedback
• Grammatical and single voice edit

Understanding budgets are always tight (!), a lot of the work I do with small business, not for profits and social enterprises is on a bite sized scale, some larger projects and some involving single day support. A quick snapshot of my recent grants work has included:

• Consulting on a project plan and service model development for ‘WorkFoundations’ grant application
• Coaching the First Nations leadership team on best practice for capturing case studies and evidence points in preparation for upcoming ‘New Remote Employment Service’ grant
• Writing persuasive content for a ‘Building Womens Careers’ grant application
• Writing persuasive content for a ‘Neighbourhood House’ funding application
