When we walk together, the journey of change begins.
TIPIAC is a 100% owned First Nations business, founded in 2016 by our CEO Bronwyn Cochrane. Bronwyn is a proud Gamilaraay yinaar from northwest NSW. With over 25 years of working in education, Bronwyn is a strong advocate in helping to provide pathways for organisations and businesses. Having a clear pathway to build a culturally intelligent workforce and frameworks allow services to further strengthen their capacity to provide educational and health services that are culturally responsive.
We are committed to providing a strength-based approach to improving the lives of all First Nations peoples. We work with education and health systems, small business as well as government and independent organisations. We are focused on providing pathways to build culturally safe and secure environments that will lead to better-quality life and outcomes for First Nations peoples.

Professional Development
Our professional development programs and masterclasses are created to help educators, corporate entities, health systems, businesses and those in government sectors build culturally responsive and safe systems within their field of work. Building cultural intellect and culturally secure systems helps develop strong pathways to creating long lasting reconciliation and a culturally responsive environment for First Nations peoples of Australia. These programs help to raise understanding of cultural perspectives in our systems, classrooms, schools, businesses, corporations and health systems.
We Make It Simple To Teach Indigenous Perspectives.
We provide Indigenous perspectives for Key Learning Areas from P to 12 inline with the Australian Curriculum. Our program is planned and developed by Indigenous teachers who work closely with cultural practitioners, elders and community members. TIPIAC’s programs brings First Nations culture and history to life in the classroom through innovative and fun techniques.
WHO ARE WE
TIPIAC acknowledges that the land on which we live, work, and play on was never ceded. Australia was built on stolen lands. We acknowledge the rich, diverse, and deep knowledge systems and cultural practices that have existed for hundreds of thousands of years in Australia.
We pay our deep respect to our ancestors who have walked this Country over many generations, and we also honour and pay our respect to the Elders across the many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nations across this Country. We acknowledge the special and unique relationships First Nations peoples have to Country, Waterways and Sky’s across this continent.
We acknowledge First Nations peoples and their continued connection to culture, knowledge systems, spirituality, language, and cultural practices. Always was, always will be Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Lands and waterways.
