Traditional Knowledge and Customs have been transferred from generation to generation by First Nations people through sacred ceremony and practice for over 60,000 years.

As modern specialists in knowledge protection and management, we pay our deep respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander elders past, present and emerging, who have worked and continue to work to ensure future generations can also access the benefits of that deep understanding of country and lore. We pledge to deepen our contribution to that process.


Artwork story: Shining Pathways, Shared Future

Shining Pathways, Shared Future represents the reconciliation journey of IPH and its Australian member firms. Each firm brings unique expertise, yet they are united by shared values and a commitment to walking alongside First Nations peoples.
