Let's talk

Partners in change

We work shoulder-to-shoulder with delivery partners in areas that call for real depth or lived experience.

Across security consulting, First Nations engagement, people living with disability, culturally and linguistically diverse communities, and more, our partner network ensures our clients have access to the best expertise to help solve their biggest challenges.

Buledya

Our joint venture with Ngakkan Nyaggu

Buledya is a majority Indigenous-owned joint venture between Portable and Ngakkan Nyaagu (NGNY), named for the Wemba Wemba word for "two." It's a strategic partnership built to put Indigenous participation and representation at the centre of economic, social, and strategic work, guided by five principles: living, being, doing, knowing, and belonging.

Buledya led the co-design of a theory of change and monitoring approach with the VCAT Koori Support Team, and worked alongside Indigenous Business Australia and NGNY to shape a new website blueprint grounded in real conversations with customers and staff. Buledya also publishes independent research, including Data sovereignty begins on country, a report on Indigenous leadership, knowledge systems, and the future of data governance in Australia.
