ATSICHS Brisbane is one of the oldest and largest
Indigenous community organisations, delivering
quality and appropriate health and social support
services to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander people of Australia.
Challenged to replace its aging IT infrastructure,
nascent governance and reactive service
management, it needed to create a modern digital
roadmap that would lead it forward in delivering key
priorities in health and community service.

change, guiding internal employees in deciding the best
direction for their teams and the overall organisation.

buy-in to make continuous improvements to the initiatives and
exceed expectations. Client inputs were used at every stage
of the project to ensure deliverables exceeded desired

the organisations’ immediate and
natural adoption of the roadmap
