About Us
Collaborative Pathways Co. was founded on a simple but powerful belief: that research and evaluation should serve peoples and communities, not just study them. We exist to create knowledge that empowers, programs that work, and partnerships built on genuine respect and shared purpose.
As a boutique Aboriginal-owned consultancy, we bring together deep cultural knowledge with rigorous research expertise. Our work spans social research, program design and evaluation, stakeholder engagement, and project management—always grounded in Indigenous-led methods and a commitment to community self-determination.
We partner with government agencies, Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations, not-for-profit organisations, and academic institutions who are serious about creating meaningful change. Whether you're designing a new program, evaluating existing services, or navigating complex stakeholder engagement, we bring the expertise, cultural integrity, and collaborative approach needed to achieve outcomes that matter.
