What we do
Aboriginal Strategy & Policy
We help organisations develop Aboriginal strategies and policies that are informed, practical and suited to the people and places they’re intended to serve.
Having worked across government and industry, we understand how policy is developed, how decisions are made and what can get in the way of implementation.
Our work includes Aboriginal affairs strategies, Reconciliation Action Plans, policy development, research, implementation planning and program evaluation.
Aboriginal Economic Development & Investment
There’s a lot more to Aboriginal economic participation than meeting procurement targets.
We work with organisations to explore how their resources, investment and commercial relationships can support Aboriginal businesses, organisations and communities.
That might mean developing an Aboriginal economic development strategy, identifying opportunities for corporate investment, improving Aboriginal business participation or bringing the right partners together to establish longer-term commercial relationships.
Our focus is on creating opportunities that strengthen Aboriginal ownership, build capability and keep economic benefits flowing to Aboriginal people.
Governance & Executive Advisory
Sometimes organisations need an experienced, independent perspective on what they’re doing and whether it’s working.
We advise executives, boards and leadership teams on Aboriginal policy, governance and organisational responsibilities. We help clients work through complex issues, understand where their approaches may be falling short and consider what needs to change.
This includes governance frameworks, strategic reviews, cultural safety assessments and advice on Aboriginal participation in organisational decision-making.
We’re comfortable asking difficult questions and giving advice that might challenge established thinking.
Research, Evaluation & Organisational Capability
We help organisations understand what’s working, what isn’t and why.
Our work includes research, policy and program reviews, evaluation, organisational assessments and tailored professional development.
We look beyond whether activities have been completed to understand what has actually changed and where further work is needed.
Strategic Advisory
At Indigenuity Lab, we bring more than 20 years of experience across government, public policy, infrastructure and Aboriginal affairs. We’ve worked on both sides of the table, developing policy and strategy, advising on major projects and working with Aboriginal communities to influence decisions that affect them.
We understand how organisations operate, the pressures they face and the difference between making a commitment and following through on it.
Our work brings together practical experience, independent advice and a strong understanding of Aboriginal priorities to help clients make better decisions.
“Because we owe it to ourselves and future generations for a more equal and just world”
Making it count
We’ve seen good strategies gather dust and well-intentioned commitments lose momentum. We’ve also seen what happens when organisations take Aboriginal participation seriously and give people the authority and resources to make things happen.
We bring that experience to our work, helping clients make informed decisions, follow through on their commitments and create opportunities that last.
