Testimonials & Partners

We work with a range of organisations across Australia from the corporate, government and non-profit sectors to support them in their cultural competency journey. Our testimonies attest to the quality of our work.

Working and partnering with Arrilla Indigenous Consulting has been a transformative experience for our firm. Their deep understanding of First Nations matters and the reconciliation space is outstanding and enables us to move forward on our commitments with confidence. Arrilla’s approach is collaborative and helps you to feel that there’s no mistakes; only lessons from which to grow as you navigate your way.

Shelley's work is so important. We all need skills and confidence to work with one another better. If we repair the relationship between us we can create an Australia that is truly respectful and celebratory of our Indigenous heritage.

At Reconciliation Australia, we practice what we preach. We’re making cultural competency a priority across our staff base and we’re using Arrilla Digital to do it.

Arrilla has the community’s trust and brings the kind of integrity, quality and experience that the Indigenous space deserves. Personally, I’ve appreciated Arrilla’s advice and counsel.

Arrilla has been the benchmark of excellence in service and performance for two decades. Anyone in business, government or the community sector that is serious about making a real and lasting contribution to the lives of Indigenous Australians should be talking to Arrilla.

We rolled out (Arrilla’s) training across our teams; the reaction and response has been overwhelmingly positive in terms of setting a baseline…giving us the language to engage in the conversation. I wanted to say thank you because you’ve helped us enormously to get started.

Shelley demonstrates her professionalism and knowledge in such a way that she is able to connect all areas of business in a genuine and meaningful way. The knowledge imparted by Shelley enabled IHG to support and articulate an established corporate ambition meaningfully in a critical area across Australia. For us, Shelley is a valuable and commendable partner of choice.

Partners

We are also a proud partner with the following organisations who share our vision for a culturally competent Australia.

“Arrilla has partnered with Herbert Smith Freehills for almost a decade. Shelley and her team are accessible, informative and highly rated at all levels of our business. Face-to-face training is most effective for targeted groups while Arrilla Digital represents the ‘gold’ standard in terms of online delivery at scale.”
