Our Story

Who We Are

Goal Indigenous Services (GOAL IS) is a majority owned Indigenous business offering a range of employment opportunities for Indigenous people and employment services catering to client needs. 


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 comes from meaningful outcomes, client trust and the ability to deliver on well thought out employment services creating benefits for candidates, clients and the surrounding communities. 

Vision And Mission

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.

Services include;

  • Recruitment
  • Mentoring Support
  • Cultural Diversity Workshops
  • Training and Education
  • Indigenous Employment
  • Labour Hire
  • Apprenticeships and Traineeships
  • HR Management Services
  • Indigenous Employment Consultation
