About Dooloo

A message stick is a public communication device used by Aboriginal Australians. The objects were carried by messengers over long distances and were used for reinforcing a verbal message. Although styles vary, they are generally oblong lengths of wood with motifs engraved on all sides. They have traditionally been used across continental Australia, to convey messages between Aboriginal nations, clans and language groups.

The message stick in Gamilaroi Language it’s called a Dooloo.

Dooloo Solutions, a majority owned Indigenous business, is engaging with the Australian Indigenous community to provide free access to computers and mobile phones which offers numerous benefits for both the community and our company.

First and foremost, this initiative fosters digital inclusion, bridging the technology gap that many Indigenous Australians face. By providing essential tools for connectivity, we empower community members to access vital information, educational resources, and job opportunities. This access can enhance their quality of life and promote economic development. We will continue to explore other technology support services that can be provided to the Indigenous community.

Additionally, such engagement demonstrates our commitment to social responsibility and respect for Indigenous cultures. By actively supporting the community, we can build meaningful relationships, foster trust, and gain valuable insights into their unique perspectives and needs. This connection not only enhances our corporate reputation but can also inform our products and services, making them more inclusive and relevant.

Moreover, collaborating with Indigenous leaders and organizations ensures that our efforts are culturally sensitive and aligned with community priorities. This approach not only promotes sustainability but also encourages community ownership of the initiative, leading to more effective and long-lasting outcomes.

In summary, Dooloo Solutions engagement with the Australian Indigenous community through the provision of free technology services not only contributes to social equity but also strengthens our brand, enriches our corporate culture, and creates a positive impact that resonates far beyond our immediate business goals.
