how Our model works

Practical partnerships, real impact.

Our model turns reconciliation from a policy into practice. We focus on genuine partnerships, Aboriginal leadership, and measurable outcomes, creating change that lasts across communities and the industry. Key elements include:

Aboriginal ownership
Aboriginal-owned and led, ensuring cultural integrity and self-determination in everything we do.
Joint venture approach
We form joint ventures with non-Indigenous partners to create culturally safe, inclusive workplaces and real decision-making power.
Direct opportunities
Our projects deliver measurable outcomes, jobs, subcontracting, and mentoring for Aboriginal people and businesses.
Supporting partner compliance
We also help our partners meet Federal Indigenous Procurement Policy (IPP) requirements.
Mentoring across the sector
We mentor and create space for other Aboriginal-owned businesses to follow and succeed.
Driving industry change
Each project strengthens relationships and drives lasting change, not just compliance.

Our guiding principles

Built on the pillars of reconciliation.

Our work is guided by the Australian Government’s Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) and its five pillars, embedded into every partnership and project:

  • Race relations

    Build trust and mutual respect through open dialogue and collaboration.

  • Equality

    Ensure fair access to employment, contracts, and advancement; remove barriers for Aboriginal participation.

  • Institutional integrity

    Operate transparently and accountably, with reconciliation built into daily practice.

  • Unity

    Pursue shared goals and collective outcomes that benefit all.

  • Historical acceptance

    Recognise and address past exclusion; lead industry-wide change for the future.

The Indigenous Advancement Strategy

Supporting community priorities.

We align our work with national strategies to ensure our projects support community priorities and drive sustainable economic development for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

  • Indigenous Advancement Strategy (IAS)
    The Government’s framework for supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities focuses on: jobs, education, wellbeing, culture, and remote Australia. We align our work to these priorities with a local, community-led approach.

  • Economic development & Closing the Gap
    We back Aboriginal-led business growth by driving demand through procurement and building capability. This empowers more First Nations enterprises and supports real progress in Closing the Gap.
