The Story of Anaiwan Advisory

In the Dreamtime

 In the heart of New South Wales, where the ancient landscapes of the Northern Tablelands whisper the stories of the ancestors, lies the land of the Anēwan people. The Anēwan, custodians of this region for thousands of years, hold a deep connection to their country, its sacred sites, and its rich heritage. The Dreamtime stories of the Anēwan speak of creation, the land, and the spirits that have shaped our country.


The Birth of Anaiwan Advisory

 Inspired by the profound legacy of the Anēwan people, Kristopher Wozniak, a proud Aboriginal man and Veteran, founded Anaiwan Advisory. His vision was to create a company rooted in the principles of respect, cultural integrity, and transformative impact. Kristopher’s journey from Anēwan Country, with its expansive highlands and sacred sites, informs the values and mission of Anaiwan Advisory.


A Bridge Between Worlds

 Anaiwan Advisory is more than a management advisory firm; it is a bridge between the wisdom of the past and the innovations of the future. Kristopher, drawing from his rich cultural heritage and extensive experience in both public and private sectors, understands the importance of integrating traditional knowledge with contemporary practices. Our firm is dedicated to delivering exceptional services while uplifting and empowering First Nations communities across Australia.


Our Mission
