Stonecrab designs Indigenous employment strategies that help Australian organisations attract, retain and support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander talent — building workforces that are genuinely inclusive and creating real career pathways for First Nations people.
Too many Indigenous employment initiatives focus on recruitment targets without the cultural support, mentoring or retention measures to make them last. The result is high turnover, reputational risk, and Indigenous employees who feel unsupported and undervalued. We help organisations build employment strategies that address the full employee lifecycle — from attraction and onboarding through to career development and cultural safety in the workplace.
Our approach draws on direct experience designing and delivering Indigenous employment programs inside major Australian organisations. We understand both the aspirations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander jobseekers and the operational realities of corporate, government and NFP environments. That combination is what makes our strategies actually work in practice.
What we do
Stonecrab works with HR teams, diversity leads and leadership to develop Indigenous employment strategies tailored to your workforce, sector and community context. Our services include:
Current state review — assessing your existing Indigenous employment practices, data, retention rates, and cultural safety measures to identify gaps and opportunities
Strategy and target setting — developing clear, measurable Indigenous employment goals aligned with your RAP commitments and broader workforce strategy
Attraction and recruitment pathways — designing targeted approaches to reach Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander jobseekers through the right channels and partnerships
Cultural onboarding and support frameworks — building the internal supports — mentoring, cultural leave, peer networks and manager capability — that determine whether employees stay
Manager and team capability — preparing your people leaders to create genuinely inclusive environments where Indigenous employees can thrive
Monitoring and reporting — developing accountability frameworks that go beyond headcount to measure belonging, progression and retention
