Reconciliation
View our Reconciliation JourneyAcknowledgement
When Ngamuru was first established in 2016, our name was gifted following consultation with Guwaali, an Indigenous-owned cultural consultancy and business founded by Gamilaroi man and artist Michael West, and Elders from the Sydney metropolitan Aboriginal community.
“Ngamuru” means “compass” or to “see the way”. This meaning continues to guide our purpose as an advisory firm: helping clients navigate complexity and seeing a clear path forward.
While Ngamuru is not an Aboriginal-owned business, we are grateful for the guidance and generosity that shaped our name and continue to acknowledge the significance of this connection.
Ngamuru operates on the lands of:
• the Ngunnawal and Ngambri peoples in Canberra
• the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people of the Kulin Nation in Melbourne
• the Turrbal and Yuggera peoples in Brisbane
We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of these lands and pay our respects to Elders past and present. We extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities.
