Testimonials

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

I could not rate FPRS highly enough. Gemma and her team were honest, approachable and very prompt in actioning any requests. I would gladly use their services again and strongly recommend to Government as a provider.

Senior Executive

National Indigenous Australians Agency (NIAA)

I want to give a big shout-out to Marisa! She has been such a great help, very supportive and so easy to talk to! She replies to her emails quickly and she’s always happy to have a yarn on the phone.

Really reflects greatly on the company as a whole to employ such lovely people to help our mob out!
