Community Engagement & Consultation
Thaama provides consultancy support to organisations seeking to engage more effectively with Aboriginal communities throughout the Pilbara region.
Drawing on local knowledge, strong community connections and practical industry experience, we work with businesses, Aboriginal corporations and government agencies to help build genuine relationships and support positive outcomes for both organisations and communities.
Led by Yindjibarndi man Les Thompson, Thaama offers a unique perspective shaped by years of experience working across mining, construction, community initiatives and Aboriginal organisations throughout the North West.
