RIPE MENTORING

Culturally-Led Project Management

We take the "heavy lifting" out of project delivery by providing end-to-end management that respects the seasonal, social, and cultural rhythms of the community.

Vetting and Consultation is the critical process of ensuring that people, businesses, and projects are culturally appropriate, authentic, and endorsed by the rightful Traditional Owners.

Not every grant is the right fit. We save you time by filtering opportunities that align with your specific goals.

Our consultancy provides a strategic bridge to help organisations and government agencies bridge the gap between their project goals and their Aboriginal Participation Plan (APP) targets. As a 100% Aboriginal Female-owned and Supply Nation registered incubator based in Nowra, we offer a unique 'double-win' for your procurement strategy.

We facilitate the space where corporate objectives and Indigenous aspirations meet. As Indigenous Engagement Consultants, we guide organizations through the complexities of cultural protocols, ensuring that engagement is proactive rather than reactive. We move beyond "consultation" toward collaboration, helping our clients listen deeply and act with integrity.

We provide hands-on business support tailored to the unique needs of Indigenous founders. We understand the complexities of balancing community obligations with commercial goals, and we’re here to walk alongside you on your business journey

our projects are more than just initiatives—they are a testament to our commitment to cultural integrity, community resilience, and individual empowerment.

We have a proven track record of delivering high-impact programs across the South Coast and beyond. Our work spans intensive youth mentorship and crisis recovery to large-scale cultural gatherings and holistic health programs.

Every pillar of Ripe Mentoring is built upon a foundation of lived experience. For our Director, Ashleigh McGuire, the path to leadership was not paved with easy opportunities, but forged through fire, survival, and an unbreakable connection to her ancestors.

At Ripementoring Pty Ltd, our team is our greatest strength. We are a collective of  leaders, strategic thinkers, and dedicated mentors who believe in the power of lived experience and cultural integrity.
