CARING FOR COUNTRY

Expanding Aboriginal contracting and consulting services through utilising social procurement.

Muru Mittigar’s ‘Caring for Country’ approach applies integrated methodologies to complex environmental, cultural and social issues. Aboriginal people have a responsibility culturally to Care for Country and Muru Mittigar considers this an integral part of our approach.
