Empowering Indigenous Talent

At Blackstone Services Pty Ltd, we believe that empowering Indigenous talent is not just a responsibility but a pathway to building stronger, more resilient communities. Our commitment to fostering Indigenous employment opportunities is deeply rooted in our values and vision. By creating career paths and skill sets for Indigenous people in the mining and construction industries, we aim to be a catalyst for positive change and sustainable development in the regions we operate.


A Legacy of Empowerment

Founded by Graeme Dimer, MBA, Blackstone Services has grown from strength to strength under his visionary leadership. Graeme's extensive experience in contracting and civil projects has not only propelled Blackstone to success but has also significantly contributed to the broader growth of the Indigenous business landscape. His strategic vision and dedication to fostering a strong and vibrant Indigenous business sector have earned him widespread respect within both corporate and Indigenous communities.


Creating Career Paths

One of our core missions is to create career paths and skill sets for Indigenous people in the mining and construction industries. We understand that sustainable employment opportunities are key to empowering Indigenous communities and fostering long-term economic growth. By providing access to training, mentorship, and employment, we help Indigenous individuals build the skills and confidence needed to excel in their careers.


Comprehensive Training Programs

Our training programs are designed to equip Indigenous apprentices and trainees with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the mining, mining support, and warehousing industries. We deliver targeted training that aligns with the demands of these sectors, ensuring that our apprentices and trainees gain hands-on, industry-specific knowledge. This tailored approach prepares them to meet the highest standards of safety and efficiency, making them valuable assets to any team.


Ongoing Support and Guidance

Learning goes beyond initial training. At Blackstone Services, we provide ongoing guidance and support to Indigenous apprentices and trainees throughout their internship. Our dedicated team ensures each employee receives the feedback and assistance they need to develop their skills and adapt to the specific needs of their role. This hands-on support helps employees grow in confidence and ability, creating a smoother integration into the workforce. By fostering a supportive environment, we help Indigenous talent thrive in their new roles.


Promoting Diversity and Inclusion

Diversity and inclusion are at the heart of our business philosophy. We are committed to providing employment opportunities for Indigenous communities, promoting a diverse and inclusive workforce. By embracing the unique perspectives and talents of Indigenous employees, we create a more dynamic and innovative work environment. This not only benefits our clients but also contributes to the overall success and sustainability of our business.


Community Development Initiatives

At Blackstone Services, we believe in giving back to the communities we serve. We actively engage in community development initiatives, supporting local causes and contributing to the well-being of the areas in which we operate. By partnering with local organisations and participating in community projects, we help create a positive impact that extends beyond our business operations.


Environmental Stewardship

Committing to sustainable practices in our mining and plant hire operations, we actively work towards minimising our environmental footprint and promoting responsible resource management. We believe that sustainable practices are essential for the long-term health and prosperity of the communities we serve. By integrating sustainability into our training programs and operations, we ensure that our Indigenous talent is equipped with the knowledge and skills to contribute to a more sustainable future.


Client-Centric Approach

Placing our clients at the center of everything we do, we are committed to building lasting partnerships based on trust, transparency, and a relentless pursuit of delivering value. Our client-centric approach ensures that we understand and meet the unique needs of each client, providing tailored solutions that drive success. By working closely with our clients, we ensure that our Indigenous employment initiatives are aligned with their strategic goals and operational requirements.
