Managing HR in a small or medium-sized business is complex — and the cost of getting it wrong keeps rising.
At Central HR, Perth-based HR consultant Meena Silk brings over 25 years of corporate HR expertise directly to your business. Whether you need help with employment contracts, Fair Work Act compliance, performance management, or navigating a difficult employee situation, Meena provides clear, practical guidance — without the overhead of a full-time HR department. Think of it as having a senior HR professional on call, who already knows your business.

Yes. Central HR offers both ongoing and project-based HR support for Perth businesses. We can act as your long-term outsourced HR partner — providing continuous guidance on Fair Work compliance, employment contracts, and employee relations — or assist with a one-off HR project such as a contract review, policy update, workplace investigation, or performance management matter. Our services are fully flexible and tailored to your business size and needs across Perth and Western Australia.
Yes. We regularly assist Perth businesses with complex employee situations including formal disciplinary processes, performance improvement plans, redundancies, unfair dismissal risks, and workplace disputes under the Fair Work Act. Meena Silk’s 25 years of corporate HR experience — combined with her qualifications as a licensed workplace investigator — means she can guide you through sensitive matters professionally, minimising your legal exposure and ensuring procedural fairness throughout the process.
Yes. While Central HR is based in Hamilton Hill, Perth, we provide outsourced HR support to businesses across all of Western Australia — including Fremantle, Rockingham, Mandurah, Bunbury, Geraldton, and regional WA. We also support businesses nationally across Australia, with many of our HR consulting, compliance, and advisory services delivered remotely via phone, email, and video. Call us on (08) 6234 0042 to discuss your location.
An HR Healthcheck is a one-time structured review of your current HR systems, employment contracts, policies, and compliance position — identifying gaps and risks across your Perth business. HR Support is an ongoing partnership where Meena actively works with you to manage, implement, and continuously improve your HR processes over time. Many Perth businesses start with an HR Healthcheck to understand where they stand, then move into ongoing HR Support to address the issues identified. Both services are available independently or together.
Many Perth small businesses are unknowingly non-compliant with the Fair Work Act — particularly around modern award interpretation, minimum wage obligations, employment contract clauses, and record-keeping requirements. Common issues include incorrect award classifications, missing terms in employment contracts, and underpayment of allowances or overtime. The best starting point is a Central HR Healthcheck, where Meena reviews your current contracts, policies, and payroll practices against the Fair Work Act and applicable modern awards. Contact us today on (08) 6234 0042.
Central HR is a boutique, founder-led HR consultancy based in Hamilton Hill, Perth. When you engage Central HR, you work directly with Meena Silk — not a junior consultant or account manager. Meena brings over 25 years of corporate HR experience and is uniquely qualified as both a licensed workplace investigator and an NMAS-accredited mediator. This means she understands HR challenges not just from a compliance perspective, but through an investigation and conflict resolution lens — a combination that very few HR consultants in Perth or Western Australia can offer.
