Celebrating 20 Years of Message Stick Communications
The message stick, a simple yet profound tool, has been a cornerstone of this tradition.
It symbolises the enduring power of connection and the importance of delivering messages with clarity and intent.
Today, Message Stick Communications carries forward this legacy.
As an Indigenous-owned ICT managed service provider, we leverage cutting-edge technology to connect people and organisations, just as the message stick once connected communities.
As we celebrate 20 years of service, we remain committed to our mission:
To build a brighter future through the power of technology and the strength of human connection.
Michael McLeod and Dugald Russell co-found Message Stick Communications, driven by a shared vision to uplift First Nations people.
The first Indigenous-owned ICT company to work across major corporate and government sectors.
The company grows into a trusted technology partner delivering high-quality ICT solutions across Australia.
Committed to the next generation of First Nations leadership through connection, technology, and self-determination.
Message Stick Communications stands as an enduring symbol of Indigenous entrepreneurship — so that all First Nations people might recognise that spirit within themselves.
We’ve come a long way over the past 20 years and would like to take this opportunity to thank our clients, partners, our staff and government — as we welcome the next generation of First Nations leaders.
