Vaxa - It’s Viking For Grow!
People | Experience | Geography | Systems
There are many business advisory agencies around, but we are pleased to have found the Vaxa Group. They have the quality of people who are the equivalent of the larger business advisory firms - the difference is their availability and care for our specific business needs. With the Vaxa Group we have never felt ‘lost’ within a big agency where we were just another client. Much of our growth and success is based on the expert advice and support of the Vaxa team.
The level of support and professionalism demonstrated by Vaxa is of a very high standard and they deliver a service that consistently satisfies our planning, facilitation, and logistics requirements.
Vaxa delivered over and above my expectations, were professional, transparent in everything they did, and easy to work with. I have already recommended them to many people.
In March 2020, Aspen Medical engaged the Vaxa Group team to assist with providing greater visibility in the procurement of vital medical PPE from offshore locations to Australia to support the COVID-19 response.
Vaxa worked closely with us to develop a response, including creation of bespoke dashboards to oversee key elements of the process. Vaxa worked with us to develop and evolve the information required to support our project outcomes.
In a very short time they built a bespoke dashboard system to manage and report on our project requirements, enabling the executive team to make accurate and informed commercial and operational decisions.
Vaxa’s ability to understand the product holistically has allowed for proactive adjustments to our program that have delivered excellent results, with revenue, process improvement and stronger customer engagement.
With over 20 years experience helping organisations identify, analyse, strategise and deliver on matters of importance across Australasian and the Indo Pacific, we possess the lived experience, systems, tools, and processes to help you Grow.

Partnership Optimisation
Our team consist of honorary diplomats, defence attaché’s and retired senior military officers, trade and policy advisors, professional services experts and supply chain and logistics specialists with extensive experience working at the highest levels of government and business across the region.
Aviation Advisory Services
Aviation programmes are high-stakes, high-complexity, and unforgiving of poor planning. Vaxa provides specialist advisory across rotary wing, fixed wing, and uncrewed aerial systems, drawing on a team of senior practitioners who have not just advised on aviation operations, but conceived, funded, stood up, and run them.
Training, Simulation, and Curriculum Development
Ensure operational readiness with targeted, cost-effective training and curriculum solutions.
Introducing complex programs and equipment into service without robust training plans risks delays, budget blowouts, and capability gaps. Leaders within national security, defence, and critical infrastructure sectors understand that seamless implementation depends on clear, practical, and timely training.
