What we do

Boorarka brings together teams with the right combination of Indigenous knowledge, expertise and project direction skills, to meet the needs of each individual client.

Managing Director of Boorarka, A/Prof Tuguy Esgin, a Noongar Yamatji man, works with the client and Boorarka’s highly skilled Project Director, to assess the needs of your organisation, business, peak body, or industry and put forward an effective way to respond. Boorarka then identifies the best Indigenous advisers to assist on the project based on their areas of expertise and their availability to meet the project requirements.

Indigenous consultants remain at the forefront of the project, supported by the Project Director and the Project Office Support Coordinator, with all work conducted under the auspices of the Supply Nation Certified, registered Indigenous Business Corporation.
