Building opportunities, not just buildings

PACM is majority Aboriginal owned and operated, and Supply Nation Certified. Our directors are Aboriginal, and our purpose is to create employment, training and supply-chain opportunities for Aboriginal people and Aboriginal businesses on every project we run.

We take our name from the parakeelya — a desert plant that grows in harsh conditions across Australia and is eaten as bush tucker to support life. We strive to embody the same characteristics as our namesake.
