About us
At Indigital we guide corporates and Indigenous communities in Australia to build meaningful, sustainable partnerships. As a majority Indigenous-owned and managed company, we work within a trusted ecosystem of partners to create spaces for connection where everyone feels valued and heard - powered by Indigenous knowledge and grounded in social reciprocity.
Our role is to translate between worlds, building community and connection across cultures, sectors, and technologies. Together, we co-design solutions that deliver lasting economic, cultural, and environmental benefits, ensuring opportunities flow both ways and thrive for all connected to Country.
A Decade of Impact: connecting Country, Culture, Community and Corporates.

Our creation story
Indigital was born in 2014 on Mirrar Country in Kakadu National Park, founded by Mikaela Jade, a Cabrogal woman from the Dharug Nation in Western Sydney. Our first steps were in Augmented Reality (AR) storytelling. Like any good story, we’ve grown and evolved.
Today, we translate between worlds, connecting Country, communities, and corporations to create shared opportunities. We use technology as a tool for cultural authority, environmental care, and economic opportunity, always led by the priorities of community. Through it all, one principle has never changed: Country comes first.
Our team
Our strength is connection. We’re people-people.

Indigital ways of working
Indigital ways of being, doing, and knowing span everything from Indigital Leave; time set aside to rest, recharge, and reconnect with Country, to the way we listen, collaborate, and celebrate. Together, these practices shape who we are, how we walk alongside others, and why we do things differently.

Why Indigital leaves the laptop behind every 12 weeks
At Indigital, we believe in doing business differently. Every 12 weeks, our entire company stops, completely. We close our laptops, turn off the notifications, and step away from work. We call it Indigital Leave.

What time on Country teaches us about business
Sitting together, listening deeply, and sharing space with Country teaches us a few things about how to do business differently:
