Sayers Advisory & Investments, the new consulting and investment arm of former PwC CEO Luke Sayers’ eponymous new company, has teamed up with his old firm to pitch for work on the federal government’s planned “permissions” platform.

The platform – the successor project to an abandoned attempt to privatise the processing of immigration visas – is aimed at digitising the way citizens and visitors to Australia access government services such as permits, accreditations, licences and registrations.
