Systems that flow, businesses that grow, and space to go slow
GroundWork was created to help purpose-driven businesses reclaim their time, find their flow, and scale their impact — without burning out.
Inspired by the regenerative systems of nature, we believe good business operations should support growth that feels sustainable, not straining.
We are a creative systems and operations studio based in Naarm/Melbourne, working with small businesses, creative freelancers, and values-led organisations across Australia and beyond.
We believe that good systems aren't about doing more — they're about doing what matters better.
Every system we design is customised to fit your business, your goals, and your way of working.
We know that sustainable success isn't just about great ideas — it's about the structures that support them.

Meet the Founder
Rachael Peri
Founder & Systems Strategist
I'm Rachael, founder of GroundWork — and a firm believer that good systems are the secret sauce behind good businesses.
After working inside organisations and creative teams, I saw firsthand how poor systems, clunky processes, and scattered tools held brilliant teams back from doing their best work.
I created GroundWork to change that.
I love efficiency, find spreadsheets strangely sexy, and am endlessly obsessed with finding ways to save time — not just for the sake of being "productive," but to free up space for creativity, connection, and all the stuff of life that make work worth showing up for.
Today, I help businesses streamline with simple systems that support their growth without sacrificing their sanity.
If you’re craving more clarity and freedom in your workday — you’re in the right place.
Ready to build the systems that will support your next chapter?
We’d love to hear about your business, your vision, and how we can help create more clarity, ease, and freedom in your day-to-day operations.
