Sacred Country Consulting empowers individuals, families, and communities to turn their ideas into sustainable and financially viable ventures. Guided by an essentialist approach, we focus on what truly matters to create long term impact rooted in Country, culture, and community strength.
The consultancy was built on more than a decade of experience working across government, community organisations, remote regions, and business ecosystems throughout Australia. After a year of global travel in 2023, the vision for Sacred Country Consulting became clear to help as many people as possible achieve entrepreneurial freedom, confidence, and intergenerational impact.
Since launching, we have delivered successful First Nations business accelerators, supported communities nationally and internationally, and partnered with government, NGOs, and corporate organisations to co design meaningful and culturally grounded programs. Our four key service offerings program design, business coaching, speaking and facilitation, and sustainable business tools enable us to bring our mission and vision to life in all that we do.
At Sacred Country Consulting, we walk alongside communities and entrepreneurs, helping transform ideas into purposeful, resilient, and sustainable businesses.
