Yalkarang Consulting

Yalkarang Consulting delivers Indigenous Employment and Reconciliation Action Planning support for organisations across Western Australia, led by Noongar/Yamatji founder Tamara Tucker from Perth.

• The Beyond Tick-Box Training package is a 12 month Aboriginal led cultural consulting partnership providing 10 full consulting days including cultural audits, policy review and strategic advice to support an organisation’s Reconciliation Action Plan journey.
• Cultural Awareness Training workshops are designed to support workplace RAPs and build lasting cultural capability, with organisations invited to bring existing RAPs and policies for review during sessions.
• The Aboriginal Cultural Confidence Program supports Aboriginal staff wellbeing through Elder mentoring and peer networking, aiming to lift engagement and retention and signal that Aboriginal employees are valued.
• Services extend to cultural audits, diversity and inclusion consulting, and Noongar language and engagement programs tailored to government, corporate, school and community clients.

Best for: organisations seeking ongoing, Aboriginal led consulting support to progress a Reconciliation Action Plan beyond a single training session.

Yalkarang Consulting also provides Cultural Diversity and Inclusion Programs, delivering Noongar-led cultural awareness training and language education from its base in Perth.

• Cultural Awareness Training workshops cover Noongar and wider Aboriginal histories, colonisation impacts and respectful engagement practices, tailored for government, corporate, school and community audiences.
• Noongar Language Classes for staff and community groups are built around the Merribank orthography, the standard used in Western Australian schools, and delivered by a qualified Noongar educator.
• Cultural incursions and resource creation extend inclusion programs into schools, early learning centres and community spaces to build broader cultural understanding.

Best for: workplaces and schools wanting structured Noongar cultural awareness and language education alongside their reconciliation work.
