No blame, Shame Or Guilt
Our trainers create environments where no one feels “blamed” and everyone feels free to ask any question without fear of offending.
Accredited Indigenous Trainers
We have a rigorous accreditation program for our trainers. They delight in sharing their cultures and learning about other cultures.

Majority Indigenous Owned
Evolve Communities is majority Indigenous owned, and uses wisdom of the Elders in all its training for government departments and businesses.

Our 5-Star Track Record
Transformed our approach
“Evolve has an extraordinary capacity to create a fun learning environment where staff feel completely comfortable asking all the hard questions. Many of our staff tell us it is the best cultural competency training they have ever experienced and has transformed their approach to working with Aboriginal health organisations.”
Kristen Toohey
Project Manager Aboriginal Programs, Cancer Council NSW
A significant difference to team behaviour
“Our team loves Evolve’s cultural awareness training programs and the seven steps and have grown so much from them. The eLearn is short, easy to understand and engaging. We love how you have included experiential elements too! Since launching the training we have seen a significant difference in our team’s awareness and interest in our RAP and its initiatives. Staff approach us about wanting to incorporate an acknowledgement at their external event or about opportunities to acknowledge our First Nations people within our assets. I now feel surrounded by a strong community of allies in the workplace.”
Kaedla Hutchings
People & Culture, Investa
Interactive, Engaging, Fun and Informative
“The training was interactive, engaging and informative, a perfect blend of interesting facts as well as useful and relevant knowledge in a fun, engaging atmosphere. It was one of if not the best training programs! I am now more culturally conscious not just with the Indigenous community, but others as well. The workshop flew by learning and having fun at the same time. Thank you so much Evolve, I will never forget this amazing experience”.
