Data Analysis Australia - 25 years on

In 1988 while having an extended break living in Oxford, I made the decision to start the company that became Data Analysis Australia.  The aim was to provide statistical and mathematical services in a commercially viable way.  It was an exciting time - computers and software had developed to a stage where it was possible for a small company to provide genuinely useful analysis without being subsidised as part of a university or a government agency.  Several commercial ventures had explored how it might be done, although with very mixed results.  I started planning while still overseas. 

 

When I returned to Perth in August the plans were set in motion, and traditionally we have set 1 September 1988 as our birthday.  Initially it was just myself, working from a home office. Today Data Analysis Australia has over 20 staff and is the largest and the most experienced commercial statistical and mathematical consultancy in Australia.  It is much more now than a one person operation, it is a wonderful team of dedicated and clever people, but it has remained true to the original vision. 

 

During 2013 we will be celebrating this important anniversary.

Accolades

Congratulations to Dr John Henstridge who has recently taken up the mantle of President of the Statistical Society of Australia (Inc). John strongly believes in the promotion of statistics as a profession and looks forward to the opportunity to provide leadership in this area and encourage more students to study the mathematical sciences.

We also congratulate our Consulting Manager and Senior Consultant Statistician Anna Munday who has been awarded an Accredited Statistician (AStat) qualification with the Statistical Society of Australia (Inc).  Anna, who has a BSc (1st Class Honours in Mathematical Statistics) from UWA was able to demonstrate her vast relevant practical experience and professional competence from her career of 13 years, 11 of which have been at Data Analysis Australia.  Her application was reviewed and approved by the SSAI’s six member accreditation committee. 

RSPCA Cupcake Day

Always keen to get involved for a good cause, Data Analysis Australia recently supported RSPCA by participating in their Cupcake Day event in August 2013.  So many staff put their baking hats on and contributed to the festivities that it soon stretched to several days, much to the delight of all!  The picture below shows a selection of the homemade cakes brought in by staff, but some were just too tempting to wait for the photographer! Data Analysis Australia is a proud repeat supporter of this worthy cause.

Health and Wellness

Although staff at Data Analysis Australia are enthusiastic about their fundraising activities from baking wonderful cupcakes to wearing unusual clothing, we spent several months this year doing something for ourselves by participating in the Global Corporate Challenge (GCC). 

Data Analysis Australia sponsored two teams of 7 staff to participate in the GCC, which is the world’s largest and most exciting workplace health and wellness program and is committed to supporting on-going research into chronic disease prevention. We thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of increased activity and healthier living during the 16 week program and look forward to continuing these habits into the future.
