About us

ABSTARR leads CHANGE, delivers EXCELLENCE and brings CLARITY

ABSTARR stands for ABoriginal Straight Talking About Responsibility and Respect. We are a 100% Aboriginal owned, for-purpose and for-profit company. We are guided by our Elders Council. Our Team is made up of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culturally grounded and highly educated professionals (more than 85% of our Team), and non-Aboriginal highly educated and culturally respectful allies (15%). We are respected, valued and trusted as changemakers in cultural safety, self-determination and decolonisation, making impacts locally and globally.

Gregory Phillips established ABSTARR in 2007 to lead change.

CHANGE

We lead change by facilitating transformational growth in culturally safe environments.
For example, we are working with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) to ensure 670 000 health professionals understand and enact their roles in patient safety for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

EXCELLENCE

We deliver excellence in strategic thought leadership, critical analysis and communications.
For example, we are working with the Victorian Department of Premier and Cabinet to ensure self-determination for Aboriginal peoples is real and respectful as they begin steps to negotiating a treaty with the First Peoples.

CLARITY

Whether you want to boost your We bring clarity and confidence to those who want to deliver better outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.
For example, we are working with the Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Child Protection Peak Ltd to ensure their strategic vision is realised.
