The Yalagan Story.
Our Story.
Our success comes from our ability to deliver.
From People and Training through to Mentoring and Print, we deliver robust, viable solutions to businesses across Australia.
Since our first personnel placement, Yalagan Group has undergone a period of rapid learning, achievement and growth.
The group was founded in 2017 by proud Yuin man Nathan Martin and Sean Wilson, though an early morning training session at the wonderful programs of Tribal Warrior in Redfern.
Yalagan – a word from the Yuin nation meaning ‘hard working’ or ‘smart-fellow’ began as a personnel hire and recruitment company, after Nathan saw first-hand the lack of representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people on the construction projects he worked on in Sydney.
Nathan’s vision for the business was to create opportunity for those who
might not find it elsewhere – those, who like himself, were coming out of prison or who had experienced periods of long-term unemployment.
And to his credit, Nathan has relentlessly worked to execute this vision. The first person that the business recruited in 2017, was a man who had previously served 14 years in jail. Now, over four years later, that man has remained out of prison and has just started a small business of his own. This in itself demonstrates the Yalagan difference.
Together, we work towards improving the wellbeing of those we come in
contact with, through empowerment, support and trust. We ensure that we’re giving our people the resources, encouragement and care that they need to better their lives and provide stability for future generations.
As a company, we’re committed to championing our people.
As people, we’re committed to championing change.

Yalagan Registered Training
We know that training is a fundamental requirement for successful, long term employment outcomes. When candidates have access to cost-effective, culturally orientated training pathways that align with their experiences and heritage, their opportunities for employment and career progression improve.

Together, with a team of print and design experts, we leverage progressive processes, products and technology to deliver a wide range of high-quality printing, design and marketing solutions to clients across the country.
Yalagan Mentoring
Every Indigenous employee enters into the Gamarada program upon commencement with us – regardless of if they’re working directly for a Yalagan Group entity or are on a direct placement or project within a clients’ organisation to ensure that they’re thriving in their work environment and that they’re working toward utilising their full potential.
As a company, we’re committed to championing our people.
