Who we are. 

Clear Advice & Strategy is led by Betsy Anderson, a strategic thinker who brings a highly collaborative approach to leading discussions and simplifying problems.

Highly experienced


Betsy spent almost 20 years facilitating difficult conversations and solving complex problems about water, before founding Clear Advice & Strategy in early 2022. She designed water resource management, policy and legislation solutions for government; supported the delivery of multi-billion dollar water infrastructure projects; and led strategic projects aimed at enhancing community value for Victoria’s largest regional urban water corporation.

Excellent communicator


Betsy can turn a complex concept into a simple story to help build understanding, ownership and commitment to change. Her experience in deliberative community engagement and effective stakeholder partnerships gives her a unique perspective about how to communicate clearly and meaningfully. Betsy speaks confidently in front of large audiences and writes effectively for a range of audiences.

Strategic thinker


Betsy prides herself on her ability to ask the right questions and join the right dots. She thrives on working collaboratively to untangle complexity across policy, processes and projects. She intuitively understands what makes good policy and great projects, having worked on the design side whilst in government and the implementation side whilst at a water corporation.
