Welcome to
TheFulcrum.Agency

The Fulcrum Agency is a practice of architects, project managers and grant writers who support First Nations-led projects across Australia.

We use our skills to advance social justice in Australia across housing, infrastructure, and community planning.

We are a BCorp and Social Enterprise, investing 50% of our profits into projects that empower communities.

We love a good chat, so get in touch to see if we can help you and your community.
