OUR SERVICES
Cultural Consulting & Organisational Change
Transforming Systems with Cultural Integrity.
Bawamarra Cultural Consultancy Services works alongside organisations to embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of knowing, being, and doing across policy, practice, and leadership. Our consulting is grounded in Social and Emotional Wellbeing (SEWB), trauma-responsive care, and cultural safety — supporting long-term, meaningful change that centres integrity, truth-telling, and relational accountability.
Service Areas:
-
Strategic Advisory & Cultural Audits
One-off or ongoing cultural audits, stakeholder reviews, policy assessments, and strategic advisory to guide leadership, inclusion, and system alignment with cultural values. -

Co-design, implementation, and review of Reflect to Elevate RAPs, ensuring truth-telling, community engagement, and reconciliation leadership are lived across the organisation. -

“Bawamarra and the team were delightful. They engaged the kids and staff in their wide range of activities. The Bawamarra team were welcoming, full of knowledge and professional. They tailored to our needs and for our program and were adaptable. Can not wait to have the Bawamarra mob working with our deadly young people again."
