Outcomes driven

Our work is driven by achieving sustainable outcomes for people and communities we engage with and we expect that any stakeholder that engages with Indigitek also aligns with this belief and practice.

For us, By Us

Building programs and engaging with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people through our personal lived experiences and ensuring that these are at the centre of the way we engage with people in our communities.

Respect

Respecting and seeking to understand every individual, their communities and their cultures in order to engage in a considered, inclusive and safe manner.

Inclusive

Creating and providing access to STEAM Pathways for all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across the country.

Failing is not failure

We promote an ecosystem that supports our people and our community to fail at things. Failing is where the most valuable lessons are learnt. Through the experience of failing we learn the most when we reflect on what happened. There is no ‘shame job’ in failing. Being comfortable to fail means that we are opening ourselves up to exploring new things.

No Shame

We aim to create safe spaces where we can become comfortable to be ourselves and support each other for who we are. Who you are is your identity and your identity is the foundation of the journey that you choose to take. Let’s strengthen our identity so we can always aim to put our best foot forward.
