Cultural Supervision

Mola Consulting provides one-on-one and group 'Cultural Supervision’ to all staff of an organisation. Our cultural supervision offers a space for you to reflect on your practice and importantly provides cultural context which is often a critical component that is not available in mainstream supervision.

Online and face to face options are available.

Cultural Capability

This whole process has been phenomenal. You are so comprehensive and inclusive. This has been an absolute treat.

Centacare NQ, Townsville

At Mola Consulting, we develop Cultural Capability Frameworks that move far beyond performative commitments or documents that sit on a shelf. Our frameworks are living, practical, and actionable tools that embed cultural safety, integrity, and accountability into the core of your organisation, not just its aspirations.

Unlike Reconciliation Action Plans, which are often under-read and under-implemented, a Cultural Capability Framework becomes a strategic, whole-of-organisation roadmap. It provides clear expectations, practical guidance, and measurable standards that strengthen how your organisation engages with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, clients, communities, partners, and staff.

By aligning cultural capability with your organisation’s vision, values, and strategic direction, we ensure the work is embedded, consistent, and sustainable. This is about building culturally safe systems, informed practice, stronger relationships, and genuine inclusion, not for a moment in time, but for long-term, meaningful change.

Domestic and Family Violence Specialist Training

Mola Consulting strengthens organisational responses to Domestic & Family Violence through culturally safe and culturally responsive practice. We recognise the distinct impacts of Domestic & Family Violence on First Nations families and are committed to delivering responses that are safe, family-led, strength-based, and culturally grounded.

WORK WITH

"Topsy, your wealth of knowledge and deep commitment to creating knowledge and understanding of your culture, as well as appropriate ways to engage with Torres Strait Islander people in our communities. Your commitment to fighting the systemic barriers, and advocate for change is inspiring and I have been so privileged to have the opportunity to learn from you"

Social Work Student, James Cook University

"The informative material presented. The open discussion within the group. The relaxed environment to ask difficult cultural questions without judgment from presenter or other group members. Being taught more about the Torres Strait Island traditions and culture by a Torres Strait Island person. Loved it!!"

Staff Member, QLD Corrective Services

"Learning more about the Torres Strait Islander culture was really interesting and valuable. I felt Topsy did a great job managing the mood of the room, giving people the time to reflect on serious topics while providing moments of levity. The time spent looking at implementing in practice was also really valuable."

Staff Member, NQ Womens' Legal Service

"I enjoyed the yarn style teaching, use of videos to keep us engaged, the willingness to answer questions, and also for the practical workshop discussions. The training was very meaningful. It has changed my perspective of approaching practice (sit, reflect, and listen deeply before problem solving). Working with, not for, Indigenous people."
