ARA Group is in partnership with ARA Indigenous Services.
Since 2017, ARA Group has owned 49 per cent of ARA Indigenous Services (ARAIS) with Managing Director Michael O’Loughlin, the majority shareholder.
ARAIS is a commercial cleaning company. In addition, ARAIS provides the opportunity to deliver all of ARA services as an Indigenous company. ARAIS supports the entire ARA Group focusing on utilising an Indigenous workforce and procuring goods and services from Indigenous companies. These efforts deliver Indigenous engagement with our clients.
As a result of the partnership between ARA and ARAIS, varied employment, training and career paths for our Indigenous staff are made avaliable.
ARAIS aspires to promote social and economic wellbeing through four key objectives:
The ARA Group acknowledges the connection of people, land and communities within the areas that we work. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.
We seek to maintain meaningful partnerships by undertaking the appropriate engagement practices within our business and for our communities. We know the importance of respecting, understanding and sharing the oldest living cultures in the world.
