Ancient. New. Innovative.
The first people of this land, the Indigenous people of Australia have an ancient culture. For people listening to our story for the first time, the ways and culture of the Indigenous people will be new. And when the ways of the Indigenous people are understood and adopted, they can be seen to be innovative. The Indigenous people are culturally driven not by money or power, but by wisdom – doing things the right way, to keep things moving the right way, at the right time.

Testimonials
“Tony’s knowledge of Aboriginal History is outstanding and when intertwined with his own personal story, drives home the impact of past policies on generations that are still coming to terms with the impact of those policies on their lives and the lives of their families. As a Wongutha man, he also has very good knowledge of cultural issues and delivers this in a way that is witty, entertaining, and deeply moving.
I would not hesitate to recommend Tony to anyone or any organisation wanting to develop their understanding of Indigenous culture, in order to work more effectively with Aboriginal people and towards reconciliation.”
Mick Gooda“Many of the misconceptions I had were resolved.”
Anonymous Feedback“I really liked how Tony prefaced his presentation by explaining that everyone has their own ‘story’, none better or worse than another, just different. I think this was really important in me understanding that listening to the stories of individuals is just as critical as having an understanding of Australian Aboriginal history that may have common influence on stories.”
Anonymous Feedback“The session was one of great inspiration to me and one of the best times I have spent in life. I cannot commend the work of Tony Shaw and his team enough.”

Indigenous Services Australia partnership with Regency Foods Australia
Indigenous Services Australia (ISA) has teamed with Regency Foods Australia, who specialise in supplying quality meat and small-goods across Australia.
ISA provides specialised consulting, development and training services to corporate and community organisations throughout Australia.
It was during a cultural diversity weekend with the Regency Foods Australia team recently that the partnership between ISA and Regency was formalised. The Regency team learned about Aboriginal Australia’s story, the significance of the land and dreamtime beliefs for Aboriginal people and the importance of communication, trust and loyalty. Together both groups bring together Western and Aboriginal approaches to conducting business, essentially combining the world’s oldest living culture with the operational expertise of a state-wide food services organisation.
