About On COmmon country
On Common Country (OCC) was formed in June 2017 out of a need to expand the service delivery context to develop a project engagement company, to support project proponents and form administrative arrangements with local organisations, indigenous stakeholders and industry employers.
OCC facilitates collaborative processes with government and community based resource agencies to plan, design and implement complex and multi stakeholder initiatives. OCC works in conjunction with CivilSafety to provide Safety advice and training programs and will source additional training services in circumstances where Civil Safety cannot provide the type of training required. OCC representatives also works in conjunction with traditional owners and relevant state agencies such as the Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning (DSDIP), Department of Employment, Small Business and Training (DESBT), Department of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island Partnerships (DATSIP) and the Department of Natural Resources Mines and Energy (DNRME).
Other key stakeholders will include the Federal agencies such as Department of the Prime Minster and Cabinet, Department of Jobs and Small Business, as well as other training and employment organisations such as Job Active, CDP contractors, and Group Training organisations. OCC also works closely with key industry representative bodies such as Construction Skills QLD and the Queensland Resources council.
