Capabilities

Some background.

TFA is committed to improving the quality of life for First Nations people and addressing the systemic injustices perpetrated through planning, building and delivery processes in Indigenous communities.

We work with First Nations communities across Australia, in urban centres, regional towns and remote communities. Our clients include local community groups, Land Councils, Native Title Corporations, Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations, and occasionally, the government.

We are a unique team of architects, project managers, grant writers, social impact experts and consultants. We can assist with everything from fund procurement, community visioning, master planning and building design to measuring the impact of a project years down the track. We provide all services in line with the APO NT Partnership Principles.

At TFA, we use our skills in problem solving, listening and challenging our clients to develop solutions that empower the communities with whom we work.

Our role is to provide communities with the technical knowledge to make informed decisions and to create frameworks for reflection, consensus, and cultural exchange. We use tools and techniques developed through years of experience and take enormous pride in our work.
