Connecting people, knowledge, ideas and opportunities.

DKA applies the knowl­edge of the desert to the com­plex chal­lenges that often accom­pa­ny liv­ing and work­ing in remote and region­al Aus­tralia. We are based in an amaz­ing, vibrant place where the old­est liv­ing cul­tures on the plan­et still thrive; where the peo­ple are resilient and inno­va­tion is a way of life. 

We work to con­nect peo­ple, knowl­edge, ideas and oppor­tu­ni­ties. For local organ­i­sa­tions and busi­ness­es, we offer con­nec­tions to new oppor­tu­ni­ties, or sup­port with strength­en­ing prac­tices. For those look­ing to con­nect with the peo­ple and knowl­edges of the desert, we can intro­duce you to our exten­sive net­work and pro­vide insight into the social and eco­nom­ic land­scape of Cen­tral Aus­tralia. And if we don’t know the answer, we know some­one who does! 

We have skills in: 

  • Strate­gic plan­ning facilitation
  • Event man­age­ment
  • Research devel­op­ment
  • Busi­ness incu­ba­tion and coaching
  • Organ­i­sa­tion­al strat­e­gy and sys­tems development
  • Pro­gram and project design
  • Facil­i­ta­tion, con­sul­ta­tion and evaluation
  • Work­shop design, facil­i­ta­tion and implementation

If you’ve got an idea or a need, start a con­ver­sa­tion – you nev­er know where it might take you.
