We have seen governments come and go. Affairs of State grew out of Mr. Alistair Urquhart’s voluntary and community activities and campaigns. This has influenced, to some extent, the range of areas of interest, and ensured our business has aligned itself strongly with Mr Urquhart’s sense of business and professional ethics.

We have wide ranging networks that connect you with decision-makers most important to you. We offer insight, knowledge and strategic advice based on on-going participation in many industry associations and discussions impacting on issues affecting our clients in Australasia, Europe and America.

Over much of the past 10 years we have worked on some of this country’s most challenging issues, often at the point where government, private and community interests intersect. Our experience covers areas ranging from industry development to emergency management to pandemic recovery to core economic growth and matters of Defence and Human Services.
