Scope Global was originally incorporated as Austraining International in 1991, a corporate venture between the SA Department of TAFE, SAGRIC Pty Ltd (a then Government of South Australia-owned company) and TAFE NSW.
The company’s original purpose was to deliver technical training in Indonesia. As the business continued to grow, it branched into additional practice areas consistent with the State Government’s policy objectives such as scholarships and mobility, disability services and international development projects.
In 2014, the company rebranded and changed its name to Scope Global.
The Government of South Australia has been the sole shareholder since the year 2000, with the current shareholder being the Treasurer, Hon Rob Lucas MLC.
We seek to build positive, sustainable and respectful relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and work together to build an empowering future for all Australians. Our Reflect RAP seeks to embed and consolidate Scope Global’s prior and current efforts, link strategically with our portfolio sectors and integrate our activities in keeping with Reconciliation Australia’s pillars of reconciliation through relationship, respect, opportunities and governance.
About the artist and the artwork
Damien Coulthard is an Adnyamathanha man from the Northern Flinders and Gammon Ranges in South Australia; a sacred place of immense social and environmental significance to the Adnyamathanha people. Damien’s paintings share family narratives that have existed for millennia, embedded in the Yarta (diverse landscapes) as a record and reminder for all diversities and identities of the unique and continuous - spiritual and cultural connection Aboriginal people have to Country.
Painting: Warnduni-nda (Healing)
Diverse Aboriginal Nations share cultural and spiritual heritage with their environments since time immemorial. The night skies; the moon and stars, like the land, are interconnected and part of an intrinsic, interwoven life cycle. Here the Ancestral Beings; custodians of complex kinship systems, hold the knowledge of Songlines embedded within our existing landscapes. A memory code of family histories attained over 60,000 years of speaking with (and caring for) country. This way of knowing, being and doing continues to govern cultural expressions, our relationship contributions to place and protection of waters, lands and sacred sites.
