Learn about Boomalli
Suzie Stollznow - Spinal Cord Injuries Australia
Boomalli School Transition Program

In 2023 all Spinal Cord Injuries Australia (SCIA) team members participated in Cultural Exchange with Shannon Barnes from Boomalli Consulting. The training was detailed, thought proving and engaging. Along with the training, Shannon also shared her time and guidance ensuring the practical application of our learning.

In 2024 Hunter from Boomalli Consulting developed a Narration through Optic for SCIA. His generous listening, beautiful design and sharing of Culture provides us with a reminder our shared commitment with First Nations Peoples embedded into the work we do.

We have grown as an organisation through working with Shannon and Hunter at Boomalli Consulting and hope that what we have learned makes us a more culturally welcoming organisation.We highly recommend Shannon’s team!

Alyssa Bennett, Chief Operating Officer
In partnering with Shannon and the team at Boomalli, VERTO has accessed high-quality training through a tailored Cultural Exchange program. The training and individualised mentoring provided to our frontline staff has greatly enhanced our First Nations servicing awareness and capacity, and has been a key driver of our future First Nations servicing strategy. I cannot recommend Boomalli highly enough - Shannon and her team are knowledgeable, passionate, and connected with community - and have imparted this valuably to our staff.

Lindsay Bull, Workforce Australia Service Manager
Boomalli’s work with VERTO has significantly enhanced our Employment Services Case Managers’ engagement, understanding and support of our First Nations participants. Our staff, both new and existing, through Boomalli’s training and support, are now better equipped to deliver high-quality, effective and culturally safe services in all circumstances. In addition, the mentoring our staff has received has empowered them to interact and connect more meaningfully with community, which, in turn, benefits our participants through the creation of opportunities with culturally appropriate support services, training and employment.

Murdi Paaki Regional Assembly Regional

To Whom It May Concern:                    
Murdi Paaki Regional Assembly has worked extensively in the past with Boomalli Consulting and supports the application for business development services.

Many communities determine the progression of economic participation, creation and further development under the guidance of the Community Working Party and the Assembly at a regional level and their relationship with Boomalli Consulting is based on past outcomes, the company’s culturally appropriate approach and trust.

The Assembly writes this letter of support due to the professionalism it has encountered through working with this Aboriginal owned and operated business and would utilise this service should it be successful in its application to provide; initial business analysis, feasibility studies, business plan’s and on-going business mentor services to its sixteen communities in the Murdi Paaki region. Or for programs that support Aboriginal people and communities.

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require further confirmation of our support. Regards, William (Sam) Jeffries – Chairperson

Good morning, Shannon,

Thanks again for delivering a great work shop yesterday, you both have certainly left a positive exchange/footprint with our team members.

Loved Aunty Coral she was a hit, everyone wants to hear her stories on location /country she did a brilliant job! Your family members are certainly blessed to have such a lady of wisdom & inspiration personally I felt such a connection with her she reminded me of my grandmother.

The foundations, insight & direction of the correct pathway to your community has been laid out in a logical manner, very interesting & personally I enjoyed every step, thanks heaps. Moving forward, I trust you are able to set up further ongoing workshops whereby the staff maybe able to share some of their scenarios & on the ground challenges, providing solutions will be so beneficial to our business needs.

Again, many thanks & warm regards to Aunty Coral, looking forward to working together & gaining traction in this arena.

Improving stronger & consistent relationship with Aboriginal communities will certainly be of benefit for our clients & our overall business. Boomalli Consulting you are simply …… first class.
