Our Story
We know local government - it’s where we started.
Founded in 1996 during a time of sector reform, CT Management Group was created by senior local government executives to provide trusted, independent support to councils navigating change. From these beginnings, we’ve grown into a national organisation supporting communities right across Australia. Our unique service model blends advisory, project delivery, and interim executive placements through our extensive associate network.
Today, we continue to be one of Australia’s most trusted partners for local government, state agencies, and not-for-profit organisations – delivering solutions that balance compliance, sustainability, and community impact.
