Why Lobby500 exists
Government and Parliament are hard to navigate, so organisations of all sorts often hire a government relations firm. Finding the right one is no easier. There is no simple way to see which firms exist and how they compare. Asking around turns up one or two names, not the market.
Lobby500 is an independent research and information service that ranks and profiles Australia's lobbying and government relations firms. With Lobby500, organisations can compare firms on what can be measured - clients, sectors, growth, team size and government experience - updated weekly. Profiles add what the rankings can't - the practice behind the data, in each firm's own words.
It works in three directions. Clients are better informed and find help faster. Firms get found by clients. And lobbying becomes more transparent for everyone.
Lobby500 is independent, transparent and data-driven. Firms pay for a profile, never the position. No subscription, profile or commercial arrangement affects whether a firm is ranked, or where it ranks. The rankings are built from public records, and our methodology documents how every ranking is calculated.
