About
Conscious Consulting was born from a long-standing commitment to improving the quality and cultural safety of systems, services, providers and practitioners working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Meet Jacinta
I'm Jacinta, a proud, staunch and sovereign Aboriginal woman, mother, aunty and advocate who is utterly dedicated to making positive change for my people.
I'm a descendant of the Arrente, Waluwurra, Alyawarra and Kalkadoon nations.
For more than a decade, I've worked in leadership and executive roles across Government, Non-Government Organisations and Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations.
I've built experience across complex service systems including health, justice, mental health, primary health care, domestic and family violence, and community services.
I've worked across both mainstream and First Nations-specific environments, developing a broad skillset across service delivery, leadership, organisational systems, service design and reform.
But I'm not here to give you a list of qualifications.
I'm here to tell you why this work matters to me.
The Work
My Practice
What began as a labour of Blak love became a specialist practice.
Those who have worked with me know that I bring a strong work ethic, high standards and a commitment to cultivating safe, trusting and high-performing spaces for both teams and individuals.
A key part of my practice - and what has become my niche - is improving the quality and cultural safety of systems, services, providers and practitioners.
Over the years, I've developed and delivered a range of tailored services and resources to support this work.
What began as a labour of Blak love has grown into a recognised area of specialist expertise.
My cultural and systems knowledge has been called upon to support regional, state and national initiatives across service design, system reform and frontline delivery.
Why I do this work
I believe we can do better
I’m passionate about helping individuals, teams and organisations centre Aboriginal ways of knowing, being and doing - creating genuinely culturally safe systems and services shaped with communities, not simply delivered to them.
My own experience of navigating corporate environments as an Aboriginal woman taught me the power of bringing your whole self into the room. It shaped the way I work today and my ability to translate cultural knowledge, lived experience and systems expertise into practical organisational change.
I also know that many people genuinely want to contribute but aren't always sure how. For non-Indigenous practitioners and organisations committed to social justice, quality care and working with humanity and integrity, I offer a practical pathway to strengthen cultural capability, decolonise practice and create meaningful change.
Ready to take the leap
with me?
Conscious Consulting is the culmination of years of experience, learning and a whole lot of Blak love. For a long time, I waited for the perfect time to launch. Eventually, I realised the work was too important to keep waiting.
So I'm backing myself, my experience and the change I know is possible.
If you're ready to create change and think differently about cultural safety, systems and organisational practice, I'd love to hear from you.
