Case Studies

Indigenous Communities in Business

In 2010, the Acuro team was engaged to develop an economic development framework for the Gulf Region of Queensland. The aim of the project was to create viable economies in a number of remote Aboriginal communities throughout the region that would service the needs of local people and nearby businesses, such as mining and pastoral operations.

FAST

As a member of The Australian Government's panel of experts for economic development and employment participation, Acuro developed a world first program, which saw Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people obtain skills to enter the growing fitness industry. FAST – Fitness and Sport Training was developed as an innovative employment program, delivering fitness and sports training to Indigenous Australians.
