I noticed this last week!
Health and public policy consultancy Siggins Miller joins Deloitte
15 November 2021
Profile Deloitte
The health and human services practice of professional services firm Deloitte has brought on board influential healthcare and public policy consultancy Siggins Miller.
Founded close to 25 years ago, Siggins Miller is a consulting firm recognised for its influence on national health legislation, including work on pregnancy warnings on alcohol and plain tobacco packaging.
Siggins Miller was founded in 1997 by Mel Miller, who also serves as an adjunct professor in the Health and Behavioural Sciences faculty at the University of Queensland and professor in the Health Group at Griffith University, and her late husband Ian Siggins, an internationally recognised historian and human rights advocate who held a number of senior Australian public healthcare roles.
“I am thrilled Mel Miller, and the Siggins Miller team are joining Deloitte,” said Financial Advisory managing partner Dave McCarthy. “(They) have influenced some of the most important health and social policies of our time. Tobacco Plain Packaging policy. The My Health Record system. Compulsory pregnancy warning on alcohol. Big thinkers, scholarly and commercial. A brilliant team.”
In addition to alcohol warnings and tobacco packaging Miller has worked on the development of Indigenous health and well-being policies and the national drug strategy with a focus on harm minimisation. The consultancy also serves the higher education sector, along with corporate and non profits in the areas of organisational design, strategy development and change management.
“After almost 25 years of sustained effort in evaluation, policy review and analysis, strategy development, supporting and designing systems and organisations, and teaching and supporting the next generation of my discipline, my team and I are making a big move,” Miller stated on LinkedIn, while paying tribute to her husband and the commitment of Deloitte’s leadership team to build on his legacy.
So we see Siggins – Miller claiming to have done good work on the #myHR. If that is the case either it was disastrous before they become involved – and the mess we have now is an improvement – or more likely they drank to Kool-Aide and conspired to give is the mess we have now. Given they call the project out, as a success,I suspect they do not have any idea of the mess they have wrought!
Any work
on the #myHR, other than having the thing cancelled, is a failure IMVHO!

Might be that they provided some advice/report at some stage but who hasn’t.
Minister - look we need an independent report to support our case”
Consultancy - “we can certainly do that Minister, our team here of experts will undertaken an in-depth analysis across the five cases for investment - what would you like the report to say?”
It is not the job of the consultancy to provide answers, they will only give advice in the shape of a report and are there to help the client see what they believe to be true
