FORCES INDIGENOUS PARTICIPATION STANDARD
Indigenous leadership. Participation in practice.
Our internal Group operating framework embeds genuine Indigenous participation in every current division and is intended for each future operating company. It is not a separate paid consulting service.
Accountability sits with each division lead.
The Standard
Six commitments. One operating discipline.
Applied proportionately to the scope, location, qualified capacity and client requirements — not a guarantee of targets, eligibility or awards.
Qualified Indigenous supplier opportunities
Appropriate Indigenous workforce and training pathways
Lasting Indigenous supplier development
Evidence of genuine spend, work and workforce outcomes
An accountable division lead
Proportionate framework
From intention to evidence.
Plan → Source → Mobilise → Integrate → Measure → Report applies where relevant to the actual work. Supplier and workforce pathways remain subject to safety, capability, capacity and value for money.

- 02

Leadership and accountability
Owned within each division.
Each division’s specialist lead owns its Indigenous participation commitments and accurate client/project reporting. The Founder retains Group strategy oversight. A future Group Indigenous Partnerships & Participation leader may be appointed when scale justifies it; no appointment is claimed today.
Saltwater Country Services Pty Ltd holds the current Indigenous ownership credentials. A future operating company must independently qualify. The Standard is not a standalone advisory department, RAP consultancy or purchasable Bid, Manage or Enterprise package.
Procurement decisions and contract-specific targets remain the buyer’s responsibility. Read about our Indigenous approach.
Embedded across the Group
