At Upstream Consulting, we are dedicated to empowering local communities through forward-thinking strategies and evidence-based solutions. Our innovative approach and strategic advisory services are focussed on achieving enduring socioeconomic impact through yielding to local realities and inspiring change through partnership.

We assist clients to realise their full cultural, social and commercial potential via an independent planning and advisory service, coupling economic development with local socioeconomic community development, particularly in Indigenous communities.
