TRACKS™
Turning Community Projects into Employment Pathways
We help Indigenous employment providers demonstrate impact while giving participants practical workplace communication and digital skills through real-world storytelling.
Across Australia, Indigenous employment providers are delivering extraordinary projects that change lives.
Participants are building community infrastructure, caring for Country, restoring cultural places, supporting Elders, renovating facilities, operating social enterprises and strengthening their communities through meaningful work.
These projects deserve to be seen.
More importantly, they provide the perfect opportunity for participants to develop new workplace skills.
That’s where TRACKS comes in.
Developed by BushTV, TRACKS is a national workforce development and strategic communications program that embeds a professional documentary crew within your projects. While participants are completing real work, they also learn practical communication, storytelling and digital media skills alongside experienced producers.
The outcome is twofold.
Your organisation receives a professional collection of stories showcasing the impact of your work.
Your participants gain practical, transferable workplace skills that increase confidence and improve employment opportunities.
Learning by Doing
TRACKS doesn’t take participants away from their work.
It integrates directly into the projects they’re already delivering.
Participants become part of a real production team, documenting genuine community projects while learning valuable workplace skills through practical experience.
They learn how to communicate professionally, interview community members, capture high-quality photographs and video, create content for websites and social media, and tell stories that celebrate their community.
Every filming day becomes another day of workplace learning.
Demonstrating Your Impact
Employment providers create remarkable outcomes every day, but those achievements are often difficult to communicate.
TRACKS produces professional stories that help organisations demonstrate their impact to governments, funding bodies, employers, partners and the wider community.
The stories become valuable assets that can be used across your organisation for:
Instead of simply reporting outcomes, you can show them.
Building Skills That Employers Value
Communication is now one of the most important workplace skills.
Through TRACKS, participants develop practical experience in:
These are transferable skills that support employment across almost every industry.
Participants leave with practical experience, increased confidence and a portfolio of professional work they helped create.
A National Documentary Series
Every TRACKS partnership contributes to a professionally produced documentary series presented by Ernie Dingo and produced by BushTV.
The series celebrates Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people building stronger communities through employment, leadership, culture and local solutions.
The inaugural series will feature projects across Queensland before expanding nationally.
Who TRACKS Is For
TRACKS has been designed for organisations creating employment opportunities and strengthening communities, including:
Every partnership is tailored to reflect your organisation, your participants and your community.
What’s Included
Every TRACKS partnership includes:
Why TRACKS?
Most employment programs measure success by the number of participants who complete a project.
TRACKS captures something more.
It documents confidence.
Growth.
Leadership.
Community pride.
It gives participants a voice, organisations a powerful communications platform and communities a permanent record of the positive work happening every day.
Together, we create stories that inspire, evidence that attracts investment and skills that help build stronger futures.
Expressions of Interest
Expressions of Interest are now open for Indigenous employment providers and community organisations interested in becoming one of the inaugural TRACKS partners.
If your organisation is delivering projects that create jobs, strengthen communities and build brighter futures, we’d love to tell those stories together.

There are places in Australia where family and domestic violence is not simply a statistic. It is woven into everyday life, affecting mothers, children, grandparents and entire communities. The violence itself is devastating, but it rarely exists in isolation. It is often intertwined with poverty,
