PEOPLE. PATHWAYS. PURPOSE.
LEVELING THE PLAYING FIELD, FOR ALL AUSTRALIANS.
One Ground is an Indigenous-owned social enterprise connecting Indigenous jobseekers, employers and communities to create meaningful employment opportunities and stronger, more productive workplaces.
We work on both sides of the employment relationship, building individual capability while helping employers develop the cultural understanding, confidence and practical solutions needed to attract, engage and retain Indigenous talent.
Through co-design, culturally informed training, strategic advisory and industry partnerships, we challenge conventional thinking, remove barriers and create pathways that work for people and business.
Better outcomes start on common ground.
Employment is about more than finding a job. It's about creating the conditions for people to succeed and businesses to benefit.
For Indigenous jobseekers, this means building confidence, capability and access to opportunities that reflect their aspirations and circumstances.
For employers, it means looking beyond traditional recruitment practices, understanding barriers that may have been overlooked and building workplaces where Indigenous talent can contribute and grow.
We bring both sides together.
By connecting lived experience with industry needs, we help turn understanding into action, creating more inclusive employment pathways, stronger workforce participation and lasting economic and social benefits.
Indigenous Employment & Jobseeker Programs
Building capability. Creating pathways. Unlocking potential.
Our culturally informed programs support Indigenous jobseekers to build the confidence, resilience, practical skills and personal readiness needed to enter and sustain employment.
We recognise that every individual's circumstances are different. Our approach considers the realities of family, community, wellbeing and access to opportunity, helping participants identify their strengths and take meaningful steps towards their goals.
Programs include Yarn 'n' Grow, Foundations and tailored employment readiness initiatives, supported by experienced facilitators, Indigenous leaders and people with lived experience.
Indigenous Engagement & Strategic Advisory
From commitment to meaningful action.
We work with businesses, industry and government to turn Indigenous engagement objectives into practical, achievable strategies.
Through co-design, stakeholder engagement and strategic advisory, we connect organisations with Indigenous perspectives, community knowledge and opportunities for meaningful collaboration.
From Reconciliation Action Plan activation to workforce participation strategies and community partnerships, we help organisations move beyond commitments to initiatives that create genuine value.
One Ground is Supply Nation certified.
Cultural Intelligence & Employer Capability
Helping employers turn good intentions into better outcomes.
Creating employment opportunities is only part of the equation. Making those opportunities work requires understanding, adaptability and the right workplace practices.
We work with employers to strengthen cultural intelligence, challenge unconscious bias and address practical barriers across recruitment, onboarding, engagement and retention.
Through training, facilitated conversations and tailored support, we help businesses build the capability and confidence to engage Indigenous talent and create workplaces where people can perform at their best.
our vision is to develop renewed purpose and perspective amongst aboriginal and torres strait islander people, empowering them to strive for their aspirations,
without limitations or uncertainty.
