Does your organisation need to be heard by Government?  Have you a complex policy position to be clearly articulated?

If you are seeking written communication in crystal clear plain English, Spectrum Insight is a network of professional writers with experience in public policy and engagement with the public, corporate and private sectors.   Our bureau is managed and administered by RMC, a national company based in Canberra with over 12 years experience in augmenting the capability of its clients by supplying skilled and professional writers for specific purposes.

Our Writers

Our writers come from diverse backgrounds with many years experience in their respective fields.  They are carefully selected for their professional writing expertise in the fields of policy, journalism, business, law, governance, theology, science and the arts.  Many are recognised published authors in their own right.  Others have worked in the areas of economics and trade, financial services, and education.

Our Services

Our services include speech writing for senior government leaders and opposition spokesmen at ministerial level as well as back benchers, local government, Statutory Authorities, industry and professional associations, among others.  Writers with a track record of social and political commentary on public policy and politics can seamlessly adapt speech writing to the style and tone of the presenter.

Science and technology writing is a particular strength.  The bureau includes scientists who have published works on environment, population and resources, as well as advising Government on policy issues.  Spectrum Insight can assist you to transpose complex scientific and technological reports and submissions into plain English. If your organisation needs to be heard at government level, Spectrum Writers can prepare your submissions for parliamentary enquiries or reviews. 

Expertise is available in drafting and editing corporate communications such as strategic and business plans, policy documents and operating procedures.
