02Why Warrung

Lived experience you can't recruit for

Two communities, one team

Founded by people with deep roots in both the Indigenous and Australian veteran communities — trust that opens talent networks conventional agencies can't reach.

Defence-grade delivery

Our consultants have supported acquisition and sustainment across Army, Navy and Air Force, plus oil & gas and all levels of government. We understand clearances, compliance and capability because we've lived them.

Partnerships, not placements

Long-term, meaningful partnerships focused on lasting outcomes — we stay accountable for what happens after the start date.

Luke Southwell, Managing Director of Warrung
03Leadership

Discipline, resilience, cultural competence

“Founded by individuals with deep roots in both the Indigenous and Australian Veteran communities, Warrung brings a unique perspective to the recruitment industry.”

“Warrung understood our clearance and capability requirements from the first conversation. The candidates they put forward were genuinely deployable — not just polished CVs.”

David M.
Program Manager, defence industry · Adelaide
★★★★★

“We engaged Warrung to support our Indigenous participation commitments on a major contract. They delivered real outcomes, not paperwork — and their people are still with us a year later.”

Kylie T.
HR Manager, mining operations · SA
★★★★★

“After 12 years in the Army I had no idea how to sell my experience to civilian employers. Luke translated it, coached me through the interviews, and checked in after I started.”
