ABOUT BLAK WATTLE
Blak Wattle Coaching and Consulting is a purpose-driven, 100% female Aboriginal-owned organisation at the forefront of transformative change. Rooted in Aboriginal wisdom, we are deeply committed to reshaping the understanding of trauma, stress, and burnout while building teams that thrive.

We support our mobs and a diverse range of organisations in embracing trauma-informed programs, workshops, and gatherings infused with Aboriginal knowledges and culture, stories and data and evidence. Our work drives important conversations around colonisation, social determinants of health, building collective movements, fostering positive interpersonal relationships, allyship, and understanding anti-racism strategies.

Since launching Blak Wattle November 2020, we have partnered with many varied clients and organisations. From social enterprises, Aboriginal community-controlled organisations, governments, and non-government, and grassroots organisations. We are a dynamic and insightful team with proven experience increasing performance in teams to drive outcomes.
