We walk together with Australia’s first people.
Walking together, listening, learning.
Supporting strong, connected, and self-determined communities.
Our commitment to First Nations peoples:
At SAL Consulting, we stand for health equity and are deeply committed to closing the gap in health and wellbeing outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, families, and communities.
We honour the oldest living culture in the world, respecting and learning from First Nations’ knowledge systems and healing practices. Our work is built on genuine partnerships, cultural intelligence, and a shared vision for self-determined, community-led solutions.
How do we work?
We don’t just work in community—we work with community. Our approach is guided by Social and Emotional Wellbeing (SEWB) principles, recognising that wellbeing is holistic, interconnected, and deeply tied to belonging and identity in a collective culture.
We work differently:
SEWB Specialists – using narrative approaches that honour cultural ways of implicit communication to understand identity and promote agency.
Community controlled and partnerships based – working alongside Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations to avoid silos and deliver sustainable solutions.
Culturally intelligent – we proactively seek expert Cultural consultation and Elder wisdoms, both internally and externally and are guided by our SEWB Practitioners.
Trauma responsive – we’re experts in intergenerational and complex trauma and working through it’s impact on identity.
Delivered On-Country & Remotely – Supporting communities wherever they are with accessible, place-based services.
Guided by Two-Way Learning – Listening deeply, sharing knowledge, and honouring community wisdom.
Focused on Advocacy & Systemic Change – Helping to influence policies that create real, lasting impact.
A Future Led by Community.
We believe in self-determined solutions that empower communities to thrive on their own terms. By working together, we can support healing, strengthen connections, and create lasting change for generations to come.
