About Brisbane Minute Taking & Stenography

I am a freelance stenographer who practices traditional shorthand. I attend various types of meetings ie Board, AGMs, management, conferences, interviews etc and take notes/minutes/transcripts in shorthand for transcribing.

I provide personal and confidential Stenography and minute taking services throughout Queensland and interstate. The difference between myself and others is that my minute taking is extremely accurate and I know the exact and appropriate level of detail to include in the minutes.

BMTS also has a machine stenographer who is available for verbatim transcripts, legal documents, depositions, in-depth transcripts, medical meetings, tribunals, enquiries, conferences, focus groups – transcripts provided in court style unless otherwise requested.

About

Professional, Executive Level Experience

Brisbane Minute Taking & Stenography (‘BMTS’) was established in 2013 to meet the needs of Boards and Executives firstly in Brisbane, then throughout Queensland and subsequently all major locations up and down the East coast of Australia.

I have over 35 years professional experience working at Executive level. I have provided stenography, board secretariat and professional minute taking services to a diverse range of clients across many sectors of industry including government, universities, corporates, SME’s, Not-For-Profit organisations, sporting governance bodies, Indigenous groups and private schools to name a few.

I have a current Police Check valid as at 30 September 2019 and I carry full professional and public liability insurance.

 

 

Testimonials

“I have engaged Janine and her team over the last 5 years in my capacity as CEO, across a number of boards and diverse meeting environments. Her ability to synthesise and succinctly articulate discussions into a quality, minuted form is second-to-none, and her knowledge of board meeting governance is a huge asset. I thoroughly recommend her for any board that is seeking an experienced minute taker to support their operations.”

At Greyhound, we consider her an integral part of our Board meetings each month, bringing a cheerful and friendly disposition yet always remaining unobtrusive.
