Careers at First Nations Co.

At First Nations Co. we are committed to driving systemic change that creates better outcomes across sectors. We believe that meaningful reform starts with collaboration, equity and purpose and we are looking for people who share that vision.

As an Aboriginal-owned consultancy grounded in self-determination and collective knowledge, we bring together lived experience, collective knowledge and professional expertise to challenge systems and design solutions that work. We show up as our whole selves bringing culture, Country and community into everything we do because that is what makes our work stronger.

Together we work to transform systems and co-create pathways for lasting impact. Through the application of cultural frameworks, we utilise collective knowledges, across sectors, to strengthen systems and drive better outcomes.
