About Us
We Work Hard To Provide You the Best Quality Cultural and Education Experience
Dreamtime Explorers Australia is a community-based Aboriginal business in South West Sydney, that creates opportunities for Aboriginal people to connect, teach, and also engage communities through a range of workshops and programs to build cultural awareness and connection to the community within NSW.
Our goal is to teach and educate new generations and future generations about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of knowing.
We educate a range of early childhood educators, community workers, and businesses to celebrate diversity and embrace Australian culture and heritage.
Our Company
Dreamtime Explorers’ goal is to provide opportunities for Aboriginal Artists, Elders, and Indigenous/ Torres Strait people to be actively involved in the teachings and connections with services, as part of the business model. Dreamtime Explorers will be working with communities all around NSW and it is important to embrace mobs/tribes to participate and actively pass knowledge, traditions, and experience to those in the early education of children.
Our objective is in line with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cultural Competence for the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF, 2009). We aim to build cultural awareness competence and understanding and also the importance of connection to land, waters, and community and spiritual beliefs as a core for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander identity
The programs, workshops, and community engagement we offer, are to build cultural awareness and connection to the community, by teaching new generations and future generations about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of knowing, so the culture is not lost in time.
