GOAL INDIGENOUS SERVICES (GOAL) IS A MAJORITY OWNED INDIGENOUS EMPLOYMENT SERVICE PROVIDER HELPING FIRST PEOPLES’ SECURE, LONG-TERM ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITIES.
GOAL is a joint venture between former AFL footballer Xavier Clarke and CoreStaff, a subsidiary of CGH Group.
Established in 2016 we have grown from one start-up branch in the Northern Territory to representation in nearly every state of Australia.
Our expansion into the Victorian Market has resulted in the establishment of our biggest branch and our VTEC partnership.
GOAL IS recognises that the rate of Indigenous unemployment is unacceptable and is a major contributor to the other areas of social disadvantage and dysfunction within Indigenous communities.
A co-ordinated approach is needed to facilitate quality training and work ready candidates for sustainable employment.
We offer mentoring and on-going support for Indigenous job seekers to help gain employment and continue to offer support to both the Employer and Employee by coordinating pathway plans to further upskill the employee.
