Indigenous organisations
GIS solutions for Indigenous organisations
Aboriginal corporations, prescribed bodies corporate, ranger groups and land management organisations hold deep knowledge of Country and carry significant responsibility for looking after it. Spatial tools can support that work, but only when the organisation stays in control of its own information.
West GIS works alongside Indigenous organisations in Western Australia to build mapping and data systems that serve the organisation's own priorities. Your data remains yours, held on your terms, with access decided by you.
GIS applications for Indigenous organisations
Practical GIS applications that support your organisation's work on Country.
Heritage and Country mapping
Store and visualise known sites, place registers and survey records in a single secure spatial database.
Ranger program support
Equip ranger teams with mobile mapping for fire management, weed and feral animal control, track maintenance and biodiversity survey work.
Community-controlled heritage data management
Set up secure systems for your organisation's own records, with restricted-access layers and permissions managed by you, not by us or by a third party.
Training & capacity building
Provide practical GIS training to help organisations build internal capacity so staff can confidently manage their own spatial data.
Why Indigenous organisations choose to work with West GIS
Beyond delivering mapping and spatial analysis, we focus on building long-term capability through training, knowledge sharing and easy-to-use GIS systems. Our aim is to help organisations confidently manage their own spatial information while ensuring data remains secure, meaningful and accessible for future generations.
Our flexible approach means we can assist with one-off projects or provide ongoing support, depending on what suits your organisation.
