Culture First

The work we do is personal and seeks to have a generational impact. Because we work with many different communities, we have to respect and respond to different cultural approaches, social guidelines and ways of working. Our approach always seeks to include these four considerations to be consistent and yet flexible.

We respect and hold high regard for Aboriginal history, cultural practices, language and knowledge systems.

Culture will always come before talking business.

What is our partner’s experience?

Respectful relationships

Appreciate the leadership structure and unique culture of each partnership. We honour each community, the elders and leaders in communities and look to them for guidance and advice. They know that we will always consult with them first.

A place of joy

Every step of the way, we celebrate with consideration of culture. Our processes are joyfully collaborative, consultative and harmonious.

How do we support this internally?

Belonging

We aim to create a place where every employee feels that they can belong. Their culture, experiences and stories are what make them who they are, and we embrace it.

Always learning

We encourage everyone to learn from each other. We have briefing and debriefing guidelines for each trip so that our team can exchange stories and experiences.
