Our business is in no way affiliated with South West Aboriginal Land Services (SWALS) or any other heritage consulting business affiliated with SWALS. We are separate entities operating completely independently of each other.
Aboriginal Land Services is a majority Aboriginal-owned and led consultancy specialising in Aboriginal cultural heritage, environmental management, and community engagement. Since 2019, ALS has delivered comprehensive, end-to-end heritage services across Western Australia and beyond. We use our strong relationships with Traditional Owner groups, government authorities, and other stakeholders and our nuanced understanding of the legislative landscape to provide strategic, ethical and culturally sensitive heritage advice.
Key services include Aboriginal Traditional Owner engagement and consultation, cultural heritage management planning, compliance monitoring, archaeological and ethnographic heritage surveys, GIS mapping, and legislative approvals.
ALS is renowned for facilitating strategic, collaborative and value-add focused solutions that align with environmental and community values, making us a trusted partner for government and industry projects. Our commitment to cultural respect and sustainability ensures outcomes that benefit both clients and Aboriginal communities.
This suite of services is all about bringing people together to talk, learn and share. ALS works closely with Aboriginal corporations transitioning to independent management of their cultural, natural and heritage assets, partnering with them to build long term capacity, social enterprises and cultural programs.
Our experienced staff can develop and assist with the implementation of Environmental Management Plans and operational procedures that meet the unique needs of your project. ALS have conducted biological and ecological surveys and programs across most biographical regions of Western Australia.
