The initial 1 hour interview and additional 1 hour preliminary research work I will conduct to undertake the Research Packages come at no extra cost. This is to;

​

a). understand your family story and discuss what your objective is for the research to be undertaken.

​

b) evaluate the viability of your job, if it is work outside of my scope or I assess other issues with the research, we can discuss at this time.

​

c). collect all information, copies of certificates or other documentation you may have. This is so my work does not duplicate what work you have undertaken or information you may have in your possession.

​

This Initial meeting can be conducted either in person, via phone call, via MS Teams or Zoom.

​

*Payment plans are available for these packages with a retainer of 10%

Confirmation of Aboriginality

​

For people wishing to apply for a Certificate of Aboriginality (COA) you will need to apply through your Aboriginal Nations, Lands Council or Corporation. You will need to provide the organization with your family linage as proof of your Aboriginal connections both to your Aboriginal family and to the Nation you are claiming your family come from. COA's are highly controversial and should never be taken lightly. I do not take this issue lightly and will only provide a support letter here I am 100% confident in your claim.

​

If I have helped to establish your Aboriginal connection, I will be happy to provide a letter of support stating those connections. However please note that in applying for a COA you have to satisfy some very important criteria. To not satisfy this criteria, and to not provide adequate family connections, is illegal.

​

                       The three criteria are:

​

                                                          •being of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent

                                                          •identifying as an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person

                                                          •being accepted as such by the community in which you live, or formerly lived.

​

​

$60 to provide a letter of supporting evidence ONLY when and where I believe the above criteria and family research AND reconnection work has been undertaken to support the application.
