Yarrakatha Consulting
ABOUT YARRAKATHA
Yarrakatha Consulting is a proud Indigenous- and female-owned Queensland business delivering services across Australia.
Our work is informed by lived experience, formal qualifications and professional training, as well as extensive hands-on experience across Australia. We have worked across diverse roles and sectors, including significant experience in the resource sector, and partner with clients as trusted cultural business advisors to deliver practical, culturally informed and outcomes-focused solutions.
Yarrakatha is a Mitakoodi word that, for us, carries the meaning lift up - reflecting the way we work to share
knowledge, build capacity and create opportunities.
Yarrakatha Consulting is a proudly Aboriginal-owned business, with family and cultural connections to the Mitakoodi, Gangalidda and Waanyi people and Country in Northwest Queensland.
We have lived and worked across Australia and have worked closely with many First Nations groups in various roles.
With more than 90 years of combined experience in sectors such as health, human resource management, training and development, higher education, public sector, community sectors, research and academia, mining and construction.
Yarrakatha is a verb in the Mitakoodi language. It speaks to the act of picking up, gaining and mastering knowledge through doing and sharing.
That meaning guides how we work.
We are a proudly Indigenous-owned, female-led consulting business providing business management, leadership, HR and IT advisory services. Our approach is centred on working alongside people — sharing knowledge, building capability and supporting others to gain confidence and mastery in their own roles and organisations.
We have a deep understanding of the impact and value that Indigenous employment, leadership and enterprise bring to organisations and communities. While we work with both Indigenous and non-Indigenous clients, we are particularly passionate about working with Indigenous businesses, community-controlled organisations and community-led initiatives.
Our work is grounded in leadership, respect and practical experience. We don’t impose solutions — we share, support and build together, so people can pick up what they need and carry it forward themselves.
Yarrakatha is deeply committed to social responsibility and community wellbeing. We proudly provide pro bono support to the Mitakoodi Elders Council, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to strengthening social and emotional wellbeing, mental health, cultural connection, and overall health for people living on our traditional lands.
Through this support, we actively contribute to strong, healthy, and culturally connected communities.
