First Nations Prosperity
In 2025, we refreshed our First Nations strategy, marking an evolution in our firm's approach to working with First Nations businesses and communities and building prosperity together.
The five-year strategy was co-designed with more than 150 stakeholders including First Nations businesses, experts, our people, and clients. It focuses on First Nations self-determination, economic growth, and shared value and builds on our 15 years of commitment with a renewed focus on First Nations prosperity.
The strategy focuses on six strategic pillars:
- Building cultural awareness and confidence for our people
- Culturally appropriate ways of working with 'mob'
- Supporting and building our network of First Nations suppliers and business partners
- Convening and collaborating with corporate Australia and the First Nations ecosystem for collective solutions
- Supporting the growth and sustainability of the Indigenous economy
- Enhancing our core service offerings to support our clients to deliver on their First Nations initiatives, through collaboration with First Nations businesses
Bringing our First Nations Strategy to life – Bora Circles Gathering
Bora Circles Gathering tells the story of the coming together of different peoples, different knowledge systems, and different ways of working - to create something meaningful and lasting.
Bora Circles are ancient ceremonial meeting sites used for inter-clan trade, healing and celebration. In this work, they become the visual anchor for PwC's commitment to respectful engagement, partnership and systemic change.
The colours are inspired by the earth and the sun - the water hues capturing the glint of sunlight on the Birrarung (Yarra River) at sunset, rendered in bronze and copper tones connecting the work to Wurundjeri Country, representing one of the places on which PwC conducts its operations.
Every detail is intentional. Artist Simone Thomson describes the work as being read in "pages", with each motif carrying its own story and intention, designed to reward curiosity and draw the viewer deeper into the narrative.
How the artwork connects to our strategy
PwC Australia's First Nations Strategy (2025-2030) is built on a clear vision: First Nations people and communities have self-determining futures and financial independence. The artwork is a visual representation of the Strategy reflecting how our teams come together with First Nations people and organisations to make an impact. It also symbolises the collaboration, respectful engagement, and shared values approach at the heart of our First Nations strategy.
