# What a strategy offsite costs in Australia

**Short answer:** A facilitated two-day strategy offsite in Australia usually costs $8,000 to $20,000 for the facilitator, plus venue, travel and your leaders' time. Half-day sessions start around $3,000. A consulting firm engagement runs $15,000 to $75,000 or more. GetSorted is $25,000, including preparation, three pages and 90 days of follow-through.

## How much does a strategy offsite cost in Australia?

Between $3,000 and $75,000 or more, depending on how much preparation and follow-through is included.

| Option | Typical cost (AUD) | Usually includes |
|---|---|---|
| Half-day facilitated session | $3,000 to $5,000 | The session and notes |
| Two-day facilitated offsite | $8,000 to $20,000 | Some pre-work, two days, a summary |
| Consulting firm strategy engagement | $15,000 to $75,000+ | Research, workshops, a strategy document |
| GetSorted | $25,000 | Two weeks of prep, two days, three pages, 90 days of follow-through |

Ranges are indicative for Australia in 2026 and vary with experience, group size and travel.

## How much does a strategy facilitator charge per day in Australia?

Experienced facilitators commonly charge $5,000 to $9,000 for a full day, with preparation and write-up sometimes charged separately.

## What drives the price of a strategy offsite?

Three things: preparation, follow-through and output.

- **Preparation.** Reading your material and drafting before the day saves your leaders hours in the room.
- **Follow-through.** Most quotes stop at the end of day two. That's where most offsites fail.
- **Output.** A summary email, a deck, or pages your people use.

## What is the hidden cost of a leadership offsite?

Your leaders' time. [DEMO] Eight leaders on an average $180,000 package spend about $11,000 of salary time across two days. That time is wasted if nothing changes.

## What else should I budget for?

[DEMO] Venue hire, catering, travel and accommodation if you go regional, typically on top of the facilitator's fee.

| Item | Rough guide [DEMO] |
|---|---|
| Venue and catering, two days, 8 to 12 people | $2,000 to $6,000 [DEMO] |
| Accommodation, if overnight | $200 to $400 per person per night [DEMO] |

## Is $25,000 reasonable for a leadership offsite?

For two days alone it would be high. It's reasonable when it includes preparation, designed outputs and three months of follow-through, which is what most two-day quotes leave out. For a 100 person business it works out to $250 a head **[DEMO]**.

## FAQ

**Can we claim a strategy offsite as a business expense?**
Generally business planning costs are deductible, but check with your accountant for your situation.

**Does the GetSorted price include venue?**
[DEMO] No. The $25,000 covers the work; venue and travel are separate.

**What does a partner retreat cost for a professional firm?**
[DEMO] Similar to a leadership offsite: a facilitator for two days usually falls in the $8,000 to $20,000 range, plus venue and partners' billable time.

**Why do most quotes stop at day two?**
Because the follow-through is the hard, slow part. It's also where most offsites fail, which is why GetSorted includes 90 days.
