Always was,
always will be,
Aboriginal land.

THE LAND WE WORK ON

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of every Country on which we operate across Australia. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging, and recognise the enduring connection of Indigenous peoples to land, water, sky, and community.

Mining sites span some of the most significant Country in Australia — the Pilbara, the Goldfields, the Hunter Valley, the far north of Queensland. Tens of thousands of years of Indigenous knowledge, relationship, and careful stewardship shaped those landscapes long before any ore was pulled from them. That knowledge didn't disappear when the fences went up.

SOVEREIGNTY

Sovereignty was never ceded. This is not a contested claim — it is a fact of history. No treaty was signed. No war was formally concluded. The land was not given away.

We are a technology company, and we are honest about the limits of what technology can do in the face of that history. What we can do is build with full awareness of Indigenous sovereignty, refuse to pretend it doesn't exist, and support the work of Indigenous communities and organisations who are pushing toward something better.

“We recognise that sovereignty was never ceded. This land always was, and always will be, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander land.”

WHO WE ARE BUILDING FOR

Australian mining employs tens of thousands of Indigenous Australians. They work as tradespersons, heavy equipment operators, supervisors, and site leaders — on Country that belongs to their communities. Some of them use FaultPilot every day.

We build tools that treat every technician as a professional — clear to read, straightforward to use, designed around how actual shift work happens. Not idealised conditions. Real twelve-hour shifts in extreme heat, on rotating rosters, with crew members who may never meet face to face.

Many of the sites where FaultPilot is deployed operate under formal Indigenous Land Use Agreements and community benefit arrangements. Those arrangements represent relationships built over years, sometimes decades. We respect them, and we build with them in mind.

OUR COMMITMENT

This is not a statement we wrote once and filed away. We return to it. We ask ourselves, regularly, whether we are actually doing what we said we would.

• 01

  Listen to the communities on whose Country our customers operate, and take those conversations seriously.

• 02

  Ensure FaultPilot is accessible and genuinely useful to every maintenance crew, regardless of background, language preference, or experience.

• 03

  Engage meaningfully — not performatively — with Indigenous communities and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as FaultPilot grows.

• 04

  Support Indigenous-owned businesses and suppliers where it is within our power to do so.

• 05

  Review this acknowledgement at least annually and update it when our understanding deepens.

We are at the beginning of this work. We know that. We are committed to doing it properly.
