Our Community

Ngarda ensures that local Indigenous communities are given maximum opportunity to participate in the economic development activities within their regions.

We are recognised as an industry leader in recruiting, training, employing and retaining local Indigenous people. We provide all our employees with training to develop their capacity to improve workplace prospects and gain broader benefits in their lives.

Our results speak for themselves.

We have trained hundreds of Indigenous men and women who continue to work with Ngarda, our major clients or elsewhere in the industry.

We also provide business opportunities through our current project work. We have local industry participation policy that targets local contractors who are keen to become involved in our projects.

We also played a major role in the establishment of the Pilbara Aboriginal Contractors Association (PACA) of which we are a founding member.

  • The Purarrka Indigenous Mining Academy [PIMA]

  • Heavy Plant Operator Programs
