The service

What data analysis consulting includes

We work collaboratively through every stage of your analysis — so you fully understand the methodology and can present and defend your results with confidence.

🧹

Data cleaning & preparation

We review your dataset for errors, inconsistencies, missing values, and structural issues — and prepare it for analysis in a way that is transparent and reproducible.

📐

Method selection

We identify the statistical methods appropriate to your research questions, data structure, and study design — and explain why each method is the right choice for your context.

📊

Statistical modelling & analysis

We work through the analyses collaboratively — so you understand the approach taken, what the outputs show, and how they connect to your research questions.

📋

Technical report

You receive a detailed written report covering the methodology and results — clearly explaining what was done, why, and what the findings mean in the context of your research.

🎓

Results walkthrough session

A dedicated online session where we walk through the findings together. You leave understanding what was done, why it was done, and how to present and defend it.

♾️

Ongoing support

After delivery, we remain available by email for follow-up questions about the delivered material — with no time limit and no extra charge.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Have a question not covered here? Get in touch directly.

Send us a message →
Do you write my thesis or scientific work for me?
+
Absolutely not. We are biostatistical consultants — not ghostwriters. The intellectual content, scientific reasoning, and writing of your thesis are entirely your own. What we provide is expert guidance on statistical methodology and analysis. Your supervisor must be aware that you are using the service.
Do I need to acknowledge your involvement in my thesis?
+
Yes — and we require it as a condition of working with us. Any consulting we provide must be acknowledged in your thesis, dissertation, or research project, typically in the Acknowledgements section. We will guide you on appropriate acknowledgement wording when the time comes.
Do you support postdocs and clinical researchers, not just students?
+
Yes. We work with postdoctoral researchers, early-career academics, and clinical researchers at all career stages across Australia. Whether you are preparing a manuscript for a peer-reviewed journal, developing the statistical sections of an ARC or NHMRC grant application, or analysing data from a clinical project, we provide the same collaborative, rigorous service.
How does the consulting process work?
+
We start with an initial meeting to understand your research aims and data. We then work through the analyses together, prepare a detailed technical report, and walk you through the findings in a dedicated session — so you leave with a solid grasp of the methodology and results. Ongoing support by email about the delivered material is included at no extra cost.
How long does it take?
+
It depends on the complexity of your analyses and how well-organised your data is. Get in touch with the details of your project and we will give you a realistic timeframe along with a quote.
Which disciplines do you work with?
+
We specialise in health and applied sciences: Medicine, Nursing, Physiotherapy, Public Health, Epidemiology, Psychology, Pharmacy, Nutrition and Dietetics, Dentistry, Veterinary Science, Occupational Therapy, Speech Pathology, Midwifery, Biomedical Science, and more. If your discipline is not listed, get in touch — we most likely cover it.
How much does biostatistical consulting cost in Australia?
+
Pricing is tailored to each project based on the type of analysis, volume of data, and level of support required. We provide a free, no-obligation quote after an initial discussion — there are no hidden fees, and the quote you receive covers the full scope agreed upon.
Can I use this service even if my university has its own statistical consulting centre?
+
Yes. LM Statistics is a private, independent consulting service — there are no affiliation requirements. You can engage us regardless of which Australian university you attend or which institution you are affiliated with. Many researchers use external consulting precisely because university centres have waiting lists, restricted access policies, or limited availability.
I am an international student studying in Australia. Can I use this service?
+
Yes. We work with all researchers studying or working at Australian institutions, regardless of nationality or visa status. The service is 100% online, so your location within Australia is also not a constraint.
