Cultural Consulting

Strengthening cultural integrity through one-on-one mentoring, expert guidance and meaningful collaboration.

Our Cultural Consulting services support organisations to work respectfully, confidently and responsibly with First Nations peoples, businesses and communities. We provide culturally informed advice, guidance and feedback that helps organisations move beyond intention and into meaningful, culturally safe action.

At Indigico Creative, cultural consulting is not about compliance or ticking boxes — it’s about building understanding, strengthening relationships and embedding cultural respect into the way you think, communicate and operate.

Our role is to guide, challenge and support organisations, at all stages of their journey, to make informed decisions that honour culture, truth and lived experience.

Our Approach

Grounded in Indigenous knowledge systems and relational ways of working, our approach centres respect, accountability and reciprocity. We take time to understand your organisation’s context, purpose and challenges, providing advice that is practical, considered, relevant and culturally appropriate.

The Benefits

As an external advisor, Indigico brings an objective and trusted perspective, offering honest feedback, cultural insight and clarity to support informed decision-making and sustainable change.

By engaging a cultural consultant, organisations, teams and employees can:

build confidence in their approaches to respectful First Nations engagement, participation and representation
reduce the risk of unintended harm that could be caused by lack of education, awareness or un-checked bias
develop stronger, more respectful relationships with First Nations stakeholders

How we work

Our Cultural Consultation services are carefully planned and thoughtfully delivered, and include 3 core stages:

Stage 1: Understanding & Context

We begin by listening. Through conversations, background research and cultural context-setting, we take time to understand your organisation’s goals, values and current approach. This stage ensures our advice is grounded in your reality and aligned with cultural integrity.

Stage 2: Cultural Advice & Guidance

We provide clear, considered cultural advice tailored to your needs. This may involve reviewing materials, participating in planning discussions, offering written or verbal feedback, or working alongside your team as a trusted cultural advisor throughout a project or initiative.

Stage 3: Reflect, learn, grow

Cultural consulting is an ongoing journey. We support reflection on learnings, identify opportunities for growth, and provide guidance on practical next steps that help embed cultural respect into everyday practice — not just one-off projects.
