CCC commenced business in 1989 to fill a perceived gap across cross cultural training, stakeholder and community engagement. Evolving from a single person business, as our team expanded, so did our concepts, ideals and values, creating a diversified and dynamic Company.

We recognised the need for flexible, independent cross culturally focused training services to support effective engagement with Aboriginal people, communities, organisations and key stakeholders.

We also recognised the reluctance of many people to engage effectively with Aboriginal people, communities and organisations, based on apprehension and a lack of knowledge about how to connect with them in a culturally responsive and appropriate way.

Working alongside our clients and communities, we build on the foundations to build the capacity of individuals, communities and organisations to work effectively across cultures and deliver culturally appropriate and responsive outcomes.

Our team has more than 30 years of personal experiences living and working cross-culturally, including strong connections with extensive family and community networks.
