Trusted by Native Title Corporations across Australia

We partner with Corporations who are committed to strong governance and better outcomes for their Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

"In 2018 BNTAC and illuminance Solutions embarked on a journey together to develop systems and processes to enable BNTAC to achieve compliance in its distributions of charitable funds and importantly establish a high level of service to the Banjima people. Drawing on illuminance’s extensive industry knowledge and experience, we worked in partnership to create and build processes and systems, which have provided us with a comprehensive solution.

The implementation of illuminance Solution’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Corporation and Trust Management System built on the Microsoft Dynamics 365 platform, has enabled BNTAC to quickly establish a service that drives efficiency and enables continual, incremental, refinement of the service we provide to the Banjima people. We look forward to continuing this collaborative partnership with illuminance as we plan to further evolve our system as our knowledge and understanding of the platform’s capabilities grows."
