Making a Difference
Throughout WGA’s reconciliation journey to date the business encourages engagement and utilisation of Supply Nation’s supplier database to procure goods and services where possible. WGA is privileged to have worked with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses and communities across Australia including:

Eyre Peninsula First Nations community on the Southern Launch’s Koonibba Test Range project. This initiative allowed WGA to employ several local First Nations people to assist with developing the test range and subsequent launch. This is the first and largest rocket test range in an Indigenous community globally.
Ongoing water supply works in isolated communities in remote areas of the Northern Territory often encompass challenging logistics and delicate environmental considerations where Aboriginal stakeholder engagement is of the utmost importance.
The whale watching platform, “Nakurami Kondoli” at Kings Beach, South Australia for local Victor Harbour construction company and Rotary Club saw the platform’s sustainable construction, which was named in consultation with the local community.
The Future Footprints Career Expo in WA where WGA provided advice in planning for future job prospects and encouraged regional and remote First Nations students to consider post-secondary training and employment.
Each of the above mentioned has offered the opportunity for WGA to forge relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, develop our appreciation for cultural awareness, and enable the group to add a positive, meaningful contribution to the services and communities in which we have engaged.
