The INDIGIVERSE exists to preserve, protect, and celebrate First Nations culture and language.
The INDIGIVERSE welcomes all who are ready to yarn, learn,
and walk together with respect.
Whether you're a student, teacher, artist, organisation, or supporter there's a place for you here. This is not just our story
It’s a shared journey toward understanding, creativity, and change.
and walk together with respect.
Our vision is a connected world where culture is not only respected but actively sustained - where children, communities, and creatives come together to build a future grounded in unity, trust, and community.
We work with artists, educators, and organisations to spark imagination and deepen understanding through every story we share.
Supporting the INDIGIVERSE means standing behind a movement that places cultural preservation, creative empowerment, and environmental responsibility at its core. It’s more than sponsorship—it’s partnership.
When your organisation aligns with our mission, you’re backing a majority Aboriginal-owned company committed to telling stories that matter, uplifting underrepresented voices, and planting the seeds for a more inclusive, connected future.
Every contribution fuels the creation of culturally rich content, helps grow pathways for First Nations creatives, and strengthens our green initiatives—like planting a tree for every issue sold.
Together, we can build a world where culture is celebrated, language is protected, and stories serve as tools for learning, healing, and change. Supporting the Indigiverse is a statement of your values in action.

Whether you’re emerging or established, there’s a place for you here — but before we yarn about your ideas, we’ll make sure everything’s handled right. We provide the correct agreements (like NDAs) to protect both your work and ours.
Please note: We don’t accept unsolicited concept submissions. Reach out first — and we’ll walk the right path together.

Every project is a chance to Herofy the next generation — inspiring pride, protecting knowledge, and sparking change through creative power.

INDIGIVERSE EDUCATION offers a powerful way to engage students through story. At the heart of our approach are culturally rich comics that speak directly to young people — backed by curriculum-aligned lesson packs, student resources, and teacher support.
Each hero’s journey is a pathway into deeper cultural understanding, language preservation, and meaningful classroom dialogue. More than just teaching tools, our materials empower students to see themselves in the learning and imagine futures in any field.
But what makes Indigiverse truly unique is our commitment to localising nationally. We work hand-in-hand with local language groups and schools to co-create educational tools that reflect the voices, stories, and languages of the communities they serve. Through this reciprocal learning model, schools are not just teaching about First Nations cultures — they are learning with them.
Our in-language stationery sets are a practical example of this. We collaborate with your local custodians to produce custom classroom materials — from writing books and labels to posters and flashcards — that reflect and strengthen your region’s language and identity. These tools support inclusive education practices, strengthen school-community relationships, and provide students with a deeper sense of belonging.
If you’re looking to bring First Nations perspectives into your school in a way that’s authentic, engaging, and ready to use — this is where to start.
Ongoing School Partnerships
We don’t just drop resources and disappear. Our approach is built on long-term relationships with schools, grounded in regular dialogue, shared goals, and cultural accountability.
Through ongoing partnerships, we stay connected with your staff, respond to your context, and grow alongside your learning community. Whether it’s planning new resources, co-delivering professional learning, or yarning through challenges, we’re here to walk with you — not just once, but consistently.
Classroom Licensing
Put powerful stories in every student’s hands. Schools can license our INDIGIVERSE comics and learning resources at discounted rates, giving each student access to culturally grounded texts that align with the curriculum. These aren’t just books — they’re tools for identity, engagement, and connection, designed to support educators and empower learners.
Licensing ensures every classroom can walk alongside the story — making culture part of everyday learning.
It supports teachers with ready-to-use tools, students with empowering narratives, and school communities with a path toward reconciliation that’s embedded, not added on.
This is more than access — it’s an invitation to embed culture into the rhythm of learning, one student, one story at a time.
Professional Development
Cultivate cultural HEROES in your workplace. Through our flagship series, Garden of Even: Cultivating Cultural Empathy, we deliver transformative sessions that equip organisations with the tools to walk respectfully with First Nations communities. It’s more than training — it’s innovation through empathy, creating lasting change and stronger futures.
Education Workshops
Herofy the classroom experience. Our immersive workshops blend curriculum-aligned learning with storytelling innovation, cultural knowledge, and hands-on creativity. Students don’t just learn — they live the stories, connect to country, and grow into the next generation of cultural champions.
Every community has its own strengths, stories, and messages that matter. DEADLY WORLDS is our marketing and storytelling division — where those messages are transformed into culturally grounded characters, narratives, and visual identities that speak directly to mob.
We work with organisations to enhance branding, communication, and campaign design using a process rooted in cultural respect, co-design, and creativity. Whether you’re a health service aiming to shift behaviour, a mining company investing in community relations, or a large organisation looking to strengthen cultural engagement, we help your message land with meaning.
Our team brings together First Nations artists, experienced communicators, and cultural engagement specialists to create work that resonates deeply and communicates clearly. From hero-based campaigns and visual assets to full-scale branding packages, we help you connect with community in a way that feels authentic, creative, and grounded in shared purpose.
The result is not just better design — it’s better impact.
Messaging that feels local, looks strong, and tells a story people want to follow.
HOW TO USE THE WORD DEADLY
The word “DEADLY” is a positive term that means, excellent, impressive, or great. It’s a term of empowerment and pride, often used to celebrate achievements, culture, or someone doing well. So, when you hear someone say, “That’s Deadly,” they’re giving big praise, not warning of danger.
INDIGIVERSE BEYOND is our innovation division, where First Nations knowledge meets cutting-edge technology. At the heart of this work is Hey, Elder! — our flagship digital platform designed to deliver cultural context, community insight, and relational learning in real time.
Hey, Elder! is transforming both dynamic education and healthcare delivery by making cultural guidance accessible, responsive, and easy to integrate into everyday practice. Whether it’s a teacher seeking deeper understanding of local protocols or a health professional looking to engage with patients respectfully, Hey, Elder! offers a self-paced, culturally secure experience that bridges the gap between intention and impact.
Built through ongoing consultation with Elders, educators, and frontline workers, Hey, Elder! is more than an information tool — it’s a shift in how Australians learn to walk alongside First Nations people with respect and accountability.
Our goal is clear: to better connect all Australians to First Nations knowledge, language, and communities — using technology not as a substitute, but as a scalable extension of cultural relationship.
Storytelling is central to culture — and the screen is one of the most powerful tools we have to share it.

We work across genres — from action and sci-fi to romantic comedies, horror, drama, and mystery — always with cultural integrity at the centre. First Nations advisors are involved at every stage, from early concept to final cut, ensuring respectful representation and creative impact.
Our studio doesn’t just produce content; we build partnerships, develop IP, and expand the reach of First Nations stories through the global language of film and television.
