About
Julian King & Associates was established in 2002 to provide consulting services to policy makers in Australia and New Zealand. Over time, our services have evolved into a specialisation in building Value for Investment (VfI) capability, with a global client base spanning every continent except Antarctica. Our purpose is to help people use evidence and explicit values to make good decisions, contributing to positive social, cultural, environmental, and economic impacts.
