Powering positive change
There is a growing desire from business, governments and communities to help create positive change for Indigenous Australians. But creating that change is challenging, and much of the investment in Indigenous programs doesn't achieve its intended outcomes.
We're inspired by the opportunity to help create more impact from these good intentions - by changing how communities are engaged so policies, programs and organisations realise their potential.
"We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands where we live and work. We pay respect to them and their Elders – both past and present."

Who we are
PIC is an Indigenous business which maintains a majority owned, led and staffed Indigenous operation. Our Indigenous owners and co-CEOs, Jodie Sizer and Gavin Brown, have a 51% share in PIC and PwC Australia owns the remaining 49%. We are a separate member firm in the PwC global network.
The unique power of our business is the combination of our Indigenous expertise and experience, with PwC's world-leading professional services capability. Our aim is to help create positive change by providing trusted professional services and advice to government, corporate and community clients on Indigenous matters.
We are a values-based business
PIC has a passionate belief that Indigenous people should have the opportunities to fulfil their aspirations. Our desire to create this firm reflects our belief in the rights of our communities to create and determine their own futures. As an Indigenous led partnership with corporate Australia, PIC aims to be an emblem for Indigenous self-determination.
PIC’s culture is firmly grounded in our values and is guided by the following principles:
- We respect diversity and different points of view
- We respect those who have walked this earth before us
- We are accountable to our clients, our communities and ourselves
- We strive for excellence in Indigenous consulting and operate with integrity
- We aim to do the right thing, in the right way.
Key service offerings
Real and lasting change happens when it's created by Indigenous people, not for Indigenous people. That's why Indigenous ownership, management and delivery is a fundamental ingredient of the PIC business. By combining our understanding of cultural, commercial, and community realities with the significant capabilities of the PwC network, PIC is in an ideal position to help facilitate this positive change.
PIC specialises in providing advice, developing strategies and supporting their execution to help realise the commercial and community potential of Indigenous policies, programs, projects, organisations and businesses. We offer a full suite of consulting services, regularly collaborating with PwC and its extensive array of specialist business services. Our key service offerings include:
- Indigenous policy & program design and evaluation
- Indigenous cultural inclusion
- Indigenous engagement
- Indigenous business & economic development
- Community strengthening
- Indigenous land, water and native title.
Because every one of our client service teams is overseen by our Indigenous owners and serviced by Indigenous led staff, these engagements are informed by our experience, and benefit from our relationship and network.
In addition to the above, our team can help you understand the key components and the principles underpinning the Commonwealth’s Indigenous Procurement Policy and help you effectively source Indigenous suppliers. Please contact us for more information.
