Our Mission
Our Mission is to bring a people-centred approach to thousands of Aussie businesses, business owners and their employees.
We are here to impact, inspire change, and transform the way that HR is perceived, implemented and valued inside organisations.
Hey, I'm Amy!
I’m the founder of Grounded HR and a passionate advocate for people-first workplaces.
My work centres around helping Australian business owners navigate the often complex and emotional world of people management. Because behind every workplace challenge is a human story — personalities, pressures, ambitions, and sometimes difficult conversations that business owners never expected to be responsible for.
Many of the leaders I work with started their businesses because they were great at their trade, profession, or craft. Managing employees, navigating workplace laws, and handling team dynamics often came later — and not always with a clear roadmap.
That’s where my work begins.
With a Bachelor of Business specialising in Human Resources and Industrial Relations, and professional registration with the Australian Human Resources Institute (AHRI), I bring both the technical expertise and the practical understanding needed to support Australian businesses in building strong, sustainable teams.
But my approach has never been about ticking HR boxes or hiding behind policies.
At the heart of everything I do is a belief that people are the foundation of every successful business.
I take the time to understand the individuals within a workplace — the business owner, the leaders, and the employees — because culture, performance, and growth all start with people.

Testimonials
Amy is a wealth of knowledge and produced professional employment contracts for our organisation, which we now have full confidence in. it was a pleasure to collaborate with Amy who was so easy to work with, quick to understand our need and provided suggestions and solutions. Amy's willingness to to answer questions and respond to emails quickly was very much appreciated enabling the project to keep progressing. We look forward to reconnecting with Amy in the future as our business grows, to ensure that our HR and compliance are overseen by a true professional. We have already referred colleagues, knowing that Amy's expertise will assist and improve their business.
Amy has made a positive impact on our business as we are getting through the tasks that have been on the back-burner for a long time. Amy is helping us to achieve our goals through a systematic approach on the tasks at hand. We feel supported and we can achieve what we need to grow to the next phase. I look forward to my weeks now knowing I have Amy there to help keep me on track.
I came to Amy at a time when I was overwhelmed by the urgent onboarding needs of our growing business yet didn't know where to start. I was worried about getting lost in a big HR firm that would try to gold-plate our processes and procedures when we really wanted to be practical and correct. Amy soon put me at ease understanding that she truly loves working with the small and growing businesses as she understands how to combine best-practice principles with practical applications.
