Our name

Parakeelya is a desert plant native across Australia. The plant grows in harsh conditions and is eaten as bush tucker to support life. We have adopted the parakeelya as our emblem and strive to embody the same characteristics as our namesake.

Aboriginal owned, Aboriginal led

PACM is Supply Nation Certified as majority Aboriginal owned and operated, registered as Parakeelya Architecture and Construction. Our Chairman, CEO and Chief Architect are Aboriginal owners of the business, with long-standing relationships across Aboriginal communities, organisations and business networks Australia wide.

Our directors helped establish the Aboriginal Business Industry Chamber of South Australia (ABICSA), and our people have built and led Aboriginal workforces in mining and construction — at one operation reaching 70% Aboriginal engagement across a 130-person workforce.

How we work

Performance excellence

PACM is committed to a culture based on excellence and performance. We set targets across all our activities against four elements.

Client satisfaction

We do what we quote. We comprehend our client's needs before we start, include every detail in our tender submissions, and on site we do not deviate from our comprehensive pre-planning.

Innovation

Constant improvement in every aspect of the company through continuous training, education and audit. Our five-stage approach: listen, collaborate, explore, adapt, deliver.

Responsible behaviour

Responsible behaviour is the base layer of sustainability at PACM. It sits at the core of our conduct, at every layer of the organisation, every day.

Personal development

Flexible working arrangements, health and fitness programmes, personal improvement courses and staff recreation days — so our people can work smarter and stay well.

Growing opportunities

Real jobs, real training, real supply-chain spend

PACM strives to provide opportunities for Aboriginal suppliers and people. Our diverse range of projects creates opportunity throughout our supply chain — apprenticeships, plant operators, site supervisors and project managers.
