our Story
Honouring that the Gulanga name, meaning to “walk alongside”, that was gifted by Ngunnawal elders.
​
To Walk alongside symbolises the journey of walking between two worlds - honouring culture whilst embracing innovation. At the heart of the artwork is a single journey pathway leading to a central meeting place, representing the shared commitment of Gulanga to walk beside. Surrounding the meeting place are people - symbols of the communities, organisations, Indigenous youth and individuals supported through Gulanga’s work.​
​​
The journey pays tribute to Gulanga founder Craig Dukes, a descendant of the Mara and Jingili people and trailblazer in Indigenous health, the journey path reflects his ability to navigate both Indigenous and non-Indigenous spaces with strength and wisdom.
Scattered around the meeting place are dots, signifying the many organisations and individuals that Gulanga has partnered with and uplifted.
They represent the ongoing connections forged through mentorship, scholarships, and opportunities in the ICT sector, ensuring that no one walks alone on their journey. Eagle tracks remain imprinted in the design, a powerful tribute to Ngunnawal Country - where Gulanga is based - and the wedge-tail eagle, the Ngunnawal totem.
​
These connections embody the essence of the piece which is “Oldest continuous culture, newest contemporary technology”.
Our founder
​​​
Gulanga was founded by Craig Dukes, a Mara and Jingili man. Craig had an impressive history of helping Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders throughout his twenty years across the Health sector. His role as CEO of the Australian Indigenous Doctors Association had a focus on reaching population parity of Indigenous doctors as this links to closing the gap for health outcomes.
​
In 2015, Craig decided to bring that focus into the ICT industry to provide pathways and career opportunities that produce more Indigenous ICT professionals in Canberra. Craig enlisted the help of career ICT professionals to build a successful and profitable ICT company that would provide real opportunity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people within the business, whilst also gifting a percentage of profits to support community initiatives. ​
​
In June 2022, Gulanga Group founder Craig Dukes, unexpectedly passed away. Craig's mission has become our enduring legacy, and it remains a central priority for our strategic partners, who are dedicated to fostering education and employment opportunities through our guidance.
