Our history

Kelly Maher is our Chief HR Consultant and Founding Director.

With 30 years of HR experience behind her, Kelly is a fount of knowledge and wisdom when it comes to navigating the ever-changing complexities of the Australian employment relationship.

We asked Kelly to talk to us about the past and present, and what the future may hold for the RfH team.

How did Resources for Humans begin?
2021 - 2023 were huge years for the practice in terms of rapid change and growth and the business quickly outgrew its sole trader status. As such Resources for Humans was created to better manage our period of expansion. Evolve or die, right?!

We love your business name! What’s the story behind it?
Obviously, it’s a play on words; human resources; humans as resources; resources for humans…it seemed to be the right fit at the time. But, in retrospect, our company name tells you everything you need to know about how Resources for Humans sees itself and operates in the world. It's humans first.
