wanyaari - Flexible, tailored service offerings

Wanyaari is an Aboriginal owned and operated business providing professional and empowering services to the Aboriginal Community and non-Aboriginal organisations across Victoria.

Wanyaari specialises in contextualising programs to suit each organisation’s specific needs, relating to their involvement with Aboriginal peoples and communities to improve working relationships, engagement, respect and achieve meaningful and sustainable outcomes.

We provide a unique balance of providing professional services to organisations to assist in developing and implementing strategies to improve Aboriginal employment outcomes, whilst also working directly within the Aboriginal Community at a grass roots level. Wanyaari bridges the gap to achieve outcomes for both the organisation and the Aboriginal Community.

Over the past eight years Wanyaari has achieved some incredible results for the Aboriginal community and have been recognised for our outstanding work, including winning multiple state and national awards such as the Victorian state-wide Wurreker Award for Aboriginal Employment, Gold in the Melbourne Design Awards for our co-designed CY-Hope program, and national Organisational Excellence Award for Barwon Water for the development of their Aboriginal Employment and Retention Strategy.

The meaning of Wanyaari is to Listen, Learn and Understand, which underpins our philosophy in designing and delivering our programs in an inclusive, engaging and culturally safe way.
