Frequently Asked Questions
Engaging a First Nations business like Indiji Corp directly satisfies Indigenous procurement requirements under federal and state government policies, including the Indigenous Procurement Policy and many corporate Reconciliation Action Plan commitments.
Beyond the procurement metric: the training your people receive comes from a 100% First Nations-owned and operated organisation with 40-plus years of combined experience. The credibility of the content and the facilitators is not separate from the procurement benefit – it is the same thing.
Yes. Indiji Corp is a Supply Nation certified First Nations business – 100% First Nations owned and operated. Procurement through Indiji Corp contributes directly to your organisation’s Indigenous procurement targets and Reconciliation Action Plan commitments.
For organisations with mandatory Indigenous procurement requirements, Indiji Corp is an eligible supplier with the depth and experience to deliver work that counts.
All programmes are adapted to your sector, your workforce, and your specific cultural context. Indiji Corp does not deliver off-the-shelf training.
The brief, the content, the facilitation approach, and the facilitation team are shaped around what your people actually need to change. Two organisations can attend the same programme format and have completely different experiences – because the work is built around them.
Yes. Indiji Corp delivers programmes across Australia – in metropolitan offices, regional sites, and remote locations. On Country experiences are arranged on a bespoke basis and involve the Traditional Owners of the specific Country where the learning takes place.
In-person programmes can be delivered at your premises, an Indiji Corp facility, or at a location appropriate to the learning context and the people involved.

There is no standard package. Every engagement starts with understanding your context – your workforce, your Country, your obligations, and where the capability gaps actually are.
A Reconciliation Action Plan is a framework for organisations to formalise their commitment to reconciliation with First Nations Australians. Developed through Reconciliation Australia, a RAP sets out specific, measurable actions across relationships, respect, and opportunities.
Indiji Corp supports organisations through RAP development at every level – from Reflect to Elevate. Not a compliance document. Not a statement of intent. A plan grounded in genuine cultural understanding, with actions your organisation can and will deliver.
Yes. Corporate organisations across financial services, professional services, construction, and retail engage Indiji Corp for cultural competency training, cultural capability assessments, and Reconciliation Action Plan development.
Corporate cultural training from Indiji Corp does not treat reconciliation as a brand value. It changes how your people work – in procurement decisions, in client relationships, and in how your organisation engages with First Nations communities and stakeholders.
Yes. Government departments and agencies are required to meet legislative obligations and community expectations around First Nations engagement. The expectations are real, and the gaps between policy and practice are visible.
Indiji Corp works with government teams to build genuine cultural capability – not tick-box compliance. Programmes are adapted to the specific responsibilities, stakeholder relationships, and community contexts of the agency.
Yes. Mining is one of Indiji Corp’s primary sectors. Organisations operating in some of Australia’s most significant First Nations heritage areas have worked with Indiji Corp to build the cultural capability their people need to work on Country with trust and respect.
Mining cultural competency is not optional – it is a condition of licence, a condition of community relationships, and increasingly a condition of investment. Indiji Corp builds the capability that those relationships require.
An Indigenous Participation Plan is a documented commitment by an organisation to increase First Nations employment, procurement, and community engagement. IPPs are required under many government contracts, particularly in mining, infrastructure, and resources.
Indiji Corp designs IPPs that go beyond compliance. Not a document that satisfies a tender requirement and sits unread. A plan that creates real pathways for First Nations people and is achievable within your operational context.
Yes. First Light is Indiji Corp’s online cultural competency training – a 30-minute introduction to First Nations culture available through the Indiji Corp learning platform. It is designed for large-scale workforce induction where face-to-face delivery is not practical.
All other Indiji Corp programmes are face-to-face. The depth of shift they create – the kind that changes how your people show up on Country and in the workplace – cannot be replicated through a screen.
Indiji Corp delivers five core programmes:
- Impact Pathways: the two-day immersive cultural capability flagship programme
- Indiji Index: an evidence-based cultural capability audit that establishes a measurable baseline
- BIRDIYA: a senior leader masterclass in cultural capability
- First Light: a 30-minute online introduction to First Nations culture, designed for large workforces
- On Country with Cultural Immersion: cultural learning on the land with Traditional Owners
Programmes are designed to work as a progression. Each one builds on the last.
A cultural capability assessment measures where your organisation and your people currently stand on cultural capability. It gives you a starting score – a real number, not a self-assessment guess.
Without a baseline, you cannot prove a shift has occurred. Indiji Corp’s assessment process is the foundation for every programme it delivers. The data tells you where to invest, what to prioritise, and how to demonstrate progress to your board and stakeholders.
Psychosocial safety refers to the psychological conditions at work that affect wellbeing, engagement, and performance. For First Nations employees and communities, cultural exclusion, micro-aggressions, and tokenism are psychosocial hazards – not incidental discomforts.
Organisations operating under the Model WHS Laws have a duty to manage psychosocial risks. Cultural competency is part of meeting that obligation. Indiji Corp helps organisations understand where those risks exist and what to do about them.
Cultural awareness tells your people that difference exists. Cultural capability changes what they do about it.
Most organisations stop at awareness – a single session, a video, a fact sheet. The real work starts after that. Indiji Corp does not deliver awareness as an endpoint. It is the starting point for building genuine, lasting behavioural change across your organisation.
Cultural safety is the experience of a person from a non-dominant cultural group feeling genuinely safe in a workplace – not welcomed as a courtesy, but safe as a standard. When First Nations employees, clients, or stakeholders do not feel culturally safe, the cost shows up in retention, engagement, and legal exposure.
Indiji Corp designs programmes that make cultural safety a measurable outcome, not a policy statement.
Cultural competency training builds the understanding, skills, and behaviours that allow your people to work effectively across cultural differences. It goes beyond awareness. A training programme that tells your team Indigenous history but does not change how they work on Monday is not cultural competency.
Indiji Corp builds capability that shows up in real interactions, on Country, in the boardroom, and across your workforce – not a certificate in a drawer.
Established by Gail Reynolds-Adamson, a descendant of the, Wudjari and Mirning peoples, the journey of Indiji Corp commenced with a desire to bridge the knowledge gap pertaining to First Nations cultures in Australia.
