The expansion includes the appointment of Ben Lau as Head of Talent Solutions (VIC) and Troy Bordiuk as Head of ACT, based in Canberra, enhancing the firm’s ability to deliver locally informed, strategic workforce solutions. 

CEO Dani Cuff said the expansion reflects Harrison McMillan’s continued investment in local talent and its commitment to supporting organisations facing complex workforce challenges. 

“This expansion is a natural next step in our national growth strategy,” Ms Cuff said. 

“Demand from Victorian and ACT organisations continues to grow, and it’s critical we have experienced, locally based leaders who understand the unique dynamics of each market.” 

Investing in local talent 

By appointing senior leaders embedded in their respective regions, Harrison McMillan is reinforcing its commitment to investing in people with deep local insight and strong industry relationships. 

“Ben and Troy both bring more than 20 years’ experience and strong local networks,” Ms Cuff said. 

“Investing in local talent enables us to deliver more meaningful outcomes for clients while building trusted, long-term partnerships in each market.” 

Supporting Victorian and ACT businesses with workforce challenges 

The Victorian expansion, led by Ben Lau, responds to increasing demand from organisations seeking support across recruitment, workforce planning and organisational capability. 

“Victorian businesses are navigating ongoing workforce pressures,” Ms Cuff said. 

“Ben’s leadership strengthens our ability to partner with clients and deliver practical, people-focused solutions that support growth and adaptability.” 

In the ACT, the appointment of Troy Bordiuk strengthens Harrison McMillan’s presence in Canberra, enabling closer collaboration with government and private sector organisations. 

“Troy brings extensive experience working within and alongside the public sector, having spent more than two decades delivering recruitment and consulting solutions in government and regulated environments,” Ms Cuff said. 

“His understanding of public sector operating contexts, combined with a strong focus on long-term partnerships, makes him ideally placed to lead our ACT presence.” 

The expansion into Victoria and the ACT marks an important milestone for Harrison McMillan, reinforcing its east coast footprint while maintaining its personalised, relationship-driven approach. 

Ms Cuff reiterated the importance of having locally based leadership in the states where Harrison McMillan operates. “It’s about being closer to our clients, understanding their challenges, and delivering workforce solutions that make a real difference,” she said.
