Heritage consulting was instigated in Australia by a group of intrepid and mostly female trailblazers into the 1980s. These pioneers wove a fabric of inspired and original precedent for the profession we work in today. As a young undergraduate I was mentored by the first wave of these women and inspired to build this business.
We acknowledge Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, their many diverse communities across our nation and their rich culture. We pay respect to their Elders past and present. We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as Australia’s first peoples and as the Traditional Owners and custodians of the land and water across the Australian landscape and seascape. We recognise and value the ongoing contribution of Aboriginal people to Australian life and how their contribution continues to enrich our society.
