Red Dust Reconciliation Education Essentials
Red Dust is Supply Nation Registered.
Our Reconciliation Programs provide genuine two-way learning and cultural exchange.
Indigenous and non-Indigenous facilitators work side-by-side to deliver our programs in person, online and on-Country, supporting you in your Reconciliation journey, no matter where you or your organisation is starting from.
Red Dust Reconciliation Programs are designed with your individual, corporate or community group goals in mind. Our programs are structured around three core ideas.
Many Australians are not familiar with our true history or the contemporary experience of First Nations Australians. Truth Telling is not intended as a focus on guilt but rather a necessity for healing and Reconciliation.
Did you know?
Every program you buy is supporting more than 120 First Nations employment opportunities in remote community programs each year.
Lunch-and-learn style yarning sessions provide a safe space to introduce our work in remote communities and spark conversations about Country, mob, family, and identity—helping your team start or deepen their cultural awareness.
Red Dust Online Learning Modules are self-directed and interactive reconciliation education focused on culture, identity, history, and practical reconciliation action.
Kick-start your cultural competency journey in person with Red Dust and build the foundations for cultural awareness, competency and Reconciliation. Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal faciliators work together in each workshop to lead smalls groups to discover and explore through our unique 'shouted history' approach.
Red Dust on-country immersion programs are tailored to your organisational objectives and achieve the desired employee and community impact. Co-design a unique 3-7 days community immersion experience for employees and emerging leaders.
Your Red Dust consultants bring a unique lens to the conversation drawing on the diverse voices and lived experiences of the Red Dust community to develop and implement your Reconciliation Action Plan.
The true measure of our work is reflected in the voices of the people and communities we walk alongside. These stories capture the lived experiences, pride, and change inspired when culture, identity, and wellbeing are strengthened together.

Red Dust Reconciliation Education Essentials
The Red Dust course provides a structured introduction to cultural awareness and reconciliation. Its strength lies in blending Indigenous perspectives with practical tools for everyday interactions. The modules encourage self-reflection, challenge assumptions, and highlight the importance of respecting protocols and traditions. The use of stories along with community examples makes the learning authentic. While the course is introductory in nature, it succeeds in sparking curiosity and building a foundation for deeper cultural competency. It’s particularly valuable for professionals working in diverse environments or those seeking to strengthen relationships with Indigenous communities.

Red Dust Foundations for Reconciliation
The workshop allowed me to relate, understand and share experiences on a deeper level and in a genuine and safe space. The content sparked great perspectives and reflections - challenging the general status quo.

Red Dust Foundations for Reconciliation
Having participated in several cultural awareness programs, I was struck by your workshop’s focus on the self as a reference point from which to explore reconciliation. Great work!
Thank you to partners working with us to support the implementation of their Reconciliation Action Plans
