About Aboriginal Insights

"Our vision is to support individuals and workplaces to Close the Gaps and achieve Reconciliation in Australia. Our purpose is to teach lessons and learnings of the two worlds to empower Relationships between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians. Our mission is to empower Aboriginal people, families, and Communities to achieve personal self-determination."

Aboriginal Insights was created by Ngarluma Yindjibarndi Aboriginal woman, Jolleen Hicks in 2016. Jolleen has a background that covers successful Aboriginal Engagement with over twenty separate Aboriginal groups in Australia; leadership; and business. Jolleen believes that reconciliation cannot be achieved without understanding; recognition; and respect between Aboriginal people and non-Aboriginal people.

Jolleen has spent the past twenty years developing her knowledge; skills; and capacity in order to confidently and comfortably walk in two worlds, while maintaining the strong family values that were instilled in her by her mother, Joan.
