Our Industry Expertise.

At GWN Consulting, we possess deep, cross-disciplinary expertise in supporting R&D-active organisations operating within a broad spectrum of industries. Our team brings a nuanced understanding of how innovation manifests in diverse technical contexts, from product and process development to systems architecture and empirical testing. We recognise that research and development is not a one-size-fits-all exercise; rather, it is embedded within the unique operational, regulatory, and scientific parameters that define each sector. Drawing on this insight, we tailor our R&D Tax Incentive and grant advisory methodologies to reflect the specific nature of the technological advancement or experimental risk being pursued by our clients.

We work collaboratively with clients to interpret their technical undertakings through the lens of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 and associated guidance issued by the Department of Industry, Science and Resources (DISR) and the ATO. This includes identifying eligible core and supporting activities, substantiating the presence of knowledge gaps, and documenting systematic progression of work in accordance with legislative expectations.

What sets our firm apart is our ability to translate complex, domain-specific knowledge into defensible technical narratives, whether the underlying work is grounded in scientific experimentation, software development, process engineering, or data-driven innovation. Our commitment to precision, clarity, and legislative alignment ensures that our clients receive robust advisory support that reflects the integrity of their work and the broader innovation ecosystem in which they operate.
