Australia

Welcome to Elephant Group Australia!

We first ran our HR Game Changer Conference in Melbourne in 2015, and since then we’ve helped many Australian HR teams develop their skills with practical, useful and interesting training that you’ll never forget (because an elephant never forgets!).

What makes us different?

Our Certificate programmes and online workshop look at how HR and OD work in the real world. Yes we cover theory, but more importantly, we look at case studies to analyse what solutions might work and why, and share examples of what real companies use to deliver excellence in HR and OD.

Our facilitators are all experienced specialists in HR and OD and share key learnings from their careers for you to learn from. We don’t overwhelm you with information – our workshops and Certificates focus on the most important things you should know, with tools and techniques that you can try out in your role. You also get to complete assignments with personal feedback and coaching from our marking team. We do not use AI. You deal with real people!

Who do we train?

Here are just a few of the organisations who choose Elephant to develop their HR and OD teams’ skills. We’d love you to join us!

How can we help you develop?

We have a special employment law workshop for Australian HR teams who look after New Zealand.

This two part virtual workshop takes you through the key differences between NZ and Australian employment law so you don’t fall into any traps that could cost. Make sure you’re confident in how NZ law works!

Rating: 5 out of 5.

The content was both highly relevant and engaging, and I appreciated the clear explanations and practical insights throughout. The course has deepened my understanding of key legal obligations and best practices, and I feel better equipped to apply this knowledge in my role. I particularly valued the real-world case studies and the opportunity to ask (many) questions along the way! Daisy, People and Culture, Financial Services company.


We also have 6 Certificate programmes to offer to develop your HR, Learning and OD skills. We have two different levels whether you are newer to the field or are moving into a strategic level.

If you have L&D experience or skills, and are in role where you will be running a learning function, this Certificate covers building a strategic learning function and culture.

For any wanting to work in OD, or new to an OD role, who wants to build core skills and grow their knowledge of OD models, tools and techniques, this Certificate is for you.

If you have responsibilities for delivering strategic Organisational Development initiatives, then this Certificate is the one to grow your OD career and strategic thinking.


Management training that bites!

If you want some ‘off the shelf’ training modules for your managers, that will give them practical tools and techniques, in bite sized workshops – Management Bites training is perfect for you!
