Nature

For the last ten years, the first Friday of the AO has been a tradition for Nature Melbourne. It’s a simple thing, but it matters even more as our team keeps growing: time together away from desks, good conversations, and a reset before the year really ramps up.

We took in the tennis, the atmosphere, and a few well-timed freebies ( sunscreen🙏👌). We couldn’t wrangle a full team photo, so we’re sharing a few smaller group shots from the day.

Freshly back after a great break, we’re taking a moment to reflect on the amazing year 2025 was for Nature. A year of transformation, recognition, growth and learning as we expanded our practice to meet increasingly complex client needs.

We invested in new capabilities, welcomed new people to the team, increased our impact, and saw that shift reflected in our strongest year of growth to date. We were stoked to be recognised by both B&T and the Research Society as Australia’s top Research Agency.

Most importantly, 2025 was shaped by the people we worked with and the partnerships we built. The trust, collaboration and challenge that comes with that work continues to push us forward.

Here’s a snapshot of the year that was, and here’s to building on it in 2026.
