About Me

Hi, I’m Lindsay Stanford.

I'm a proud Gamilaraay woman, and the Founder & Principal of Blakworks.

I believe not for profit leaders want more than a tick-a-box approach or to be tokenistic. I know how important it is to get it right. And, I know many savvy leaders don’t know how. They spend time and money hoping to find something that works.

That’s why I’ve spent over 25 years working to help leaders achieve their goals in Aboriginal employment. Now, I’ve developed a suite of products to help not for profit organisations build safer and more respectful workplaces for Aboriginal people and grow their Aboriginal workforce – and I can help you.

I support savvy not for profit leaders to create safer and more respectful workplaces so they can grow their Aboriginal workforce. You can make a real difference for Aboriginal people, and find the strategies that will work for you.

I believe there is a way for employers to make Aboriginal employment work. I know that they want to do better, and need to do better, in providing opportunities for Aboriginal people to have success in their workplaces. And just as importantly, I believe they can do better. With a little help and guidance, not for profit leaders can make Aboriginal employment work for everyone.

I know not for profit leaders want to do better with Aboriginal employment, but they don’t know how.
