Our vision is for our employees to be empowered, strengthening families, and contributing to economic participation, stronger culture, and equitable society, because thriving, passionate, high-calibre trades and professionals are reliable, uphold the highest standards, and persevere through any difficulty to deliver the most optimal outcomes for our clients.
Part of Kardan’s vision is to secure long-term contracts and joint ventures with urban, remote, and regional organisations, enabling the employment, training, and workforce support of local peoples in their communities, where they are connected to Country, culture, and kin.
With our strong networks, social and economic capacity, and capability to construct in regional and remote areas comes key openings for Aboriginal men and women, people living with disability, and people over 55 to reach their full potential through engagement, employment, upskilling, and training in construction.

We are passionate about improving the wellbeing of Aboriginal peoples through employment & upskilling opportunities.

We at Kardan are committed to establishing sustainable and ongoing employment, upskilling, and business growth opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, that bridge gaps, support diversity and inclusion, and brings Aboriginal and non-Indigenous communities closer together.

Having achieved the goal of awarding 20 apprenticeships to Aboriginal peoples by 2020, Kardan continues to support employment at the early stages, as well as working with existing Aboriginal employees, businesses, sole traders, and sub-contractors, and securing and promoting the development of meaningful skillsets and projects that facilitate cultural connection and healing.

Kardan is an Aboriginal business giving members of our community a hand-up. We are proud to be challenging and changing decades-old perceptions that still exist about Aboriginal peoples and Aboriginal-led businesses. Deficit-based narratives that are the result of centuries of systematic racism and colonising.

By continuing to roll out successful initiatives that enable employment and upskilling opportunities, develop social capital, and ensure economic participation and grow generational wealth for Aboriginal peoples, while strengthening Kardan’s alignment with government and community groups – provides an opportunity for conversational change and education to the broader population.
