Our Vision

Performance can make a big difference to the success of any organisation. Nahri recognizes the importance and value of Aboriginal Australia’s culture and heritage as an essential core element of our national identity. We are grounded in learning about and understanding and embracing Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people’s histories and recognising our place in shaping our collective futures for our Australian nation.

Our overarching objective is to break the cycle of transgenerational poverty of our Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people and new generations. Our reputation, integrity, high performance is what drives us, it also defines us. We believe the two foremost essentials driving our success are customer service and performance. Nahri is driven by creativity, directed by strategy, focused on performance and client satisfaction.

Our Philosophy

The Nahri Performance team is dedicated to collective passion and to the empowerment and self-determination and independence of Aboriginal people. We maintain a high level of commitment and excellence in performance in all of our endeavours. Nahri’s key operating principle is of experiential learning methods. This learning is one that promotes the idea that long term, sustainable change comes from experience. Whilst formal, traditional learning methods play an integral role in learning, individuals learn best through performing. This is our active approach to learning.
