Trainers

Kakadu Consulting Services' trainers are non-Indigenous, and are experienced in delivering training to Indigenous people.

Qualifications

I hold tertiary qualifications in parks and wildlife management, and assessment and training in the workplace. I have over 30 years experience as a Ranger, Chief Ranger and Operations Manager in jointly managed protected areas, principally Kakadu and Booderee National Parks.

Training experience

As a Chief Ranger and Operations Manager I have had 25 years experience providing formal and information training to Indigenous people in the areas of environmental and cultural heritage management. These areas include monitoring of sites, conservation and recording of sites, identifying cultural heritage management issues, identifying threats to sites etc. I have extensive experience liaising and consulting with Indigenous people on a wide range of issues. These issues include matters relating to joint management, protected area management, conflict resolution and natural resource management.

I currently own and manage my environment and cultural heritage consulting firm and in the last five years I have generally worked with Indigenous people in the areas of education, resources, cultural site protection and maintenance and collection of cultural materials. Recently I have worked as a cultural heritage supervisor in the mining industry. As a consultant I have provided Indigenous people with education and training services, including as a lecturer in certificate level courses in natural and cultural resource management through Charles Darwin University. I have also acted as a mentor to Indigenous trainee rangers and tutored Year 11 and 12 students.

Recent experience

Kakadu Consulting Services has delivered cultural heritage management training to an Indigenous group within the last 12 months (valid at October 2011).
