1. Assisting local government, government agencies, schools, corporate bodies and community groups in their journey of reconciliation;

The Yingadi Team specialise in the development of cultural induction programs for existing and new staff members with the capacity to develop a manual for continuing staff induction purposes.
Workshops typically range from half day to 1 day and can be delivered onsite or an Aboriginal organisation venue and if possible a significant Aboriginal historical site. Each workshop process is developed to meet the unique requirements of each group or organisation.

Our Consultancy Team can support Aboriginal organisations to develop and preserve Cultural practices programmes through the establishment of cultural centres, healing centres and places of belonging for Aboriginal Peoples. We can work one to one to develop feasibility and business plans to meet the aspirations of community members or groups.

We currently run a cultural immersion for the general public, secondary students and teachers to Lake Mungo 8 times a year. (Please refer to feedback from participants on the web site).
