Adaptovate have formed an alliance with Gadali, a national consulting firm that partners with community, corporations, government and technology platforms to foster employment and ICT sector growth while inspiring positive societal impact among indigenous communities. Gadali aims to establish itself as the leading ICT Consultancy and Systems Integrator for governmental and corporate entities, alongside implementing a long-term human capital investment model to provide pathways and opportunities for First Nations people to engage in the technology sector as a vocation.
Adaptovate will honour the July 2024 NAIDOC week celebrations by acknowledging the achievements of First Nations people in our history and looking to foster partnerships in the wider First Nations community through relationships acquired through Gadali and its Indigenous network reach.
Gadali was founded by Dustin McClung, a proud Ngunawal man that grew up in Gundungarra country. Following tertiary studies, Dustin progressed through a corporate career working in senior executive roles in large multi-nationals, attributing his success to hard work, determination and "being in the right place at the right time". Dustin believes there is a significant amount of untapped First Nations' talent in Australia that is unrealised due to barriers associated with distance, opportunity and available direction. Gadali will provide the pathways and placements to assist in realising this potential, by investing in a human capital model built by partnering with subject matter experts providing exceptional solutions while mentoring a new generation of technology professionals.
