Aboriginal United Services

What Aboriginal United Services does

Aboriginal United Services (AUS) is a privately held, Aboriginal-owned group of companies headquartered in Perth, Western Australia, founded in 2014. The group operates four service divisions: AUS Logistics Solutions (fuel delivery via prime movers and tankers, express freight, hotshot and heavy machinery transport across the Pilbara), AUS Traffic Management (Traffic Control Services, Traffic Management Plans, Indigenous Engagement and Procurement Solutions), AUS Employment Services (recruitment and mentoring under the 'Jobs on Country' program for Aboriginal professional, trades and blue-collar roles on a flat-fee permanent-hire model), and AUS Building Services (construction support). Service delivery is anchored by regional depots in Tom Price, Newman, Port Hedland and Karratha, with a Perth head office at 4A/40 Hasler Road, Osborne Park.

Revenue is generated through managed-services and professional-services contracts rather than per-transaction pricing, with primary customers being Tier 1 mining operators (BHP, Rio Tinto, FMG), Tier 1 contractors (Toll Group, Alstom, Ventia, SRG, Linfox, ESS), and government/utility clients (Main Roads WA, Town of Port Hedland, Horizon Power, Water Corporation). Pricing is quote-based and contracted; the only disclosed pricing innovation is the Employment Services flat fee with permanent-hire guarantee. Sales motion is direct enterprise and government field sales, supplemented by formal tender processes, industry-partner referrals and Supply Nation/ISNetworld channel visibility.

The technology stack is operations-grade rather than technology-led: integrated management systems aligned with principal corporate safety expectations, a SafeEx system for HSE documentation access, and a transport logistics platform for OH&S and compliance reporting. The group holds ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 certifications (2022), Main Roads WA Unconditional contractor status, ISNetworld B Grade membership and Supply Nation certification. No AI, ML or external API product capabilities are disclosed; technology functions as compliance and execution infrastructure rather than a differentiator.
