Who we are
About Stella HR
At Stella HR, we believe strong businesses are built on strong people practices.
We work alongside organisations of all sizes—from boutique firms and growing businesses to larger organisations—across professional services, education, technology, and beyond. Our focus is simple: to design HR solutions that are practical, people-focused, and aligned with your business goals.
That could mean reviewing and updating policies so they’re actually used (not just filed away), reshaping structures so people know where they fit, embedding frameworks that support growth, or stepping in to manage complex workplace issues with independence and care. Whatever the need, we bring clarity, structure, and confidence to your people strategy.
Founded by Roberta Tuckwell, Stella HR is built on over 20 years of hands-on experience in law, IT & technology, education, and hospitality. Having spent two decades inside law firms, Roberta understands the unique dynamics of professional services—where culture and structure can make or break a firm’s success. This depth of legal-sector knowledge, combined with broad cross-industry expertise, allows Stella HR to balance compliance, culture, and commercial outcomes in a way that delivers lasting results.
Our style is straightforward and collaborative. No jargon, no “cookie-cutter” fixes—just practical HR support that’s tailored to your people and your business.
Stella HR: Strengthening structure. Supporting growth. Aligning people with purpose.
