Converge Heritage + Community

What Converge Heritage + Community does

Converge Heritage + Community is an Australian cultural heritage consultancy founded circa 1994 and headquartered in Brisbane, with regional offices in Cairns and Hervey Bay. The firm delivers integrated heritage consulting across Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural heritage, non-Indigenous built and historic heritage, archaeology, planning and compliance, and Traditional Owner services, serving government (local, state, and federal including the Department of Defence), mining and energy developers, property owners, and Aboriginal corporations. Notable engagements include technical advisory roles on Qld Hydro's ~A$14 billion Borumba Pumped Hydro project, Vena Energy's Wandoan South Solar Project, and Elements Green's Rodds Bay Solar Farm, alongside recurring work for councils across Queensland such as Moreton Bay, Bundaberg, Toowoomba, Redland, and Brisbane.

The firm's technical approach combines conventional cultural heritage methodology with GIS, LiDAR remote sensing, and a proprietary site database developed internally. Archaeo Cultural Heritage Service Pty Ltd operates as a wholly owned labour-hire subsidiary engaging over 400 casual Traditional Owner field officers, providing both employment facilitation for Aboriginal communities and workforce supply for proponents. The related Archaeo-Converge Group also includes a joint venture, Central Entertainment Group, focused on heritage entertainment venue restoration in Maryborough.

Revenue is generated through bespoke, project-based professional services fees across consulting and labour-hire streams, with a consultative, relationship-driven GTM anchored on long-standing Traditional Owner, government, and developer relationships rather than marketing-led demand generation. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and engagements are quote-based. The firm employs approximately 200 staff and operates on private, founder-led ownership with Simon Gall (Managing Director) and Csilla Gall (General Manager) at the helm.
