Lighting the path for industry and community

Wiimali_

Experienced and reliable workers form the backbone of all successful operations. In the Australian construction and mining sectors, workforce supply is about more than just labour — it’s about connection, capability and care.

Wiimali Co, a 100% Aboriginal-owned company, is reshaping what it means to deliver outcomes with integrity and cultural strength. Operating across both mining and construction, Wiimali provides skilled teams, complete project solutions and deeply rooted cultural leadership to projects across WA and greater Australia.

Wiimali was founded by Bianca Lore, a proud Aboriginal woman and Traditional Owner with ancestral connections to Port Hedland, Victoria and Queensland. The name Wiimali means “one to light fire”. The name reflects the company’s mission — to ignite opportunity, light the path forward and build meaningful, longstanding outcomes, not only for clients, but for community, Country and future generations.

Wiimali delivers highly skilled personnel across mining and construction, with a high regard for conveyor maintenance, mechanical shutdowns, breakdowns and civil and commercial construction works. The company’s growing workforce includes highly trained conveyor specialists, mechanical fitters, construction crews and qualified support staff, all mobilised through compliant systems and with a strong focus on psychosocial safety and cultural readiness.

The company collaborates with industry leaders and innovators to ensure its solutions exceed industry standards and set new benchmarks for sustainability and cultural integration.

It has never been more important to bridge the gaps between industry and Indigenous Australians. Wiimali has successfully enhanced the visibility and participation of Indigenous communities in the resource sector and continues to pave the way for a more inclusive and equitable industry.

Purpose-driven operations with cultural integrity

Bianca Lore brings a unique and powerful blend of experience to the industry, as a psychologist, HSE specialist and long-standing advocate for community wellbeing. Her leadership ensures that Wiimali operates not only at a high technical standard, but also with deep awareness of the emotional, mental and cultural needs of Aboriginal workers and FIFO personnel.

A key point of difference is Wiimali’s commitment to psychosocial hazard management, mental health support and culturally responsive safety systems. The company integrates counselling, cultural advisory, and emotional wellbeing frameworks into its mobilisation and HSE structures. Every worker is supported holistically, not just functionally.

This culturally informed approach ensures strong site performance, minimal disruption, and teams that are both capable and cared for — creating real, lasting value for clients and community alike.

Scope of services

Wiimali offers a diverse range of services, including:

  • Conveyor maintenance and shutdown labour
  • Mechanical and construction trade teams
  • End-to-end job mobilisation and supervision
  • Civil and commercial construction works
  • Cultural advisory and Indigenous engagement
  • Psychosocial hazard risk management
  • Employment pathways for Aboriginal people and youth

Wiimali’s comprehensive mining solutions drive operational excellence and are designed to meet the unique demands of the Australian resource sector. The dynamic team of highly qualified professionals offer unmatched expertise and are equipped to exceed expectations.

Project management and coordination

The project management and coordination team at Wiimali consistently delivers industry projects with precision, efficiency and impact. From initial planning through to execution, the team takes charge of every phase, ensuring strict adherence to timelines, budgets and safety protocols.

Focusing on seamless execution and tangible results, Wiimali brings confidence and clarity to complex operations.

Product design and fabrication

Specialising in mining-focused design and fabrication services, the team offers expertise in drafting, civil and structural engineering with tailored and cost-effective solutions.

With a deep understanding of mining industry demands, Wiimali ensures every solution is durably built to withstand harsh conditions while meeting the unique demands of individual projects.

Safety and risk management

Wiimali believes that with the right precautions, all accidents and injuries are preventable. This belief steers the company towards its goal of a zero-harm environment.

Safety is held at the core of operations, with robust safety frameworks including comprehensive OH&S management systems, proactive risk mitigation strategies and ongoing training to keep its team prepared and informed.

Working together for stronger outcomes

Wiimali continues to build trusted partnerships with industry leaders, Traditional Owner groups and project stakeholders who value cultural integrity and high-performance delivery.

The business remains committed to supporting those who support community, fostering pathways, creating careers and building a workforce that reflects the strength and future of Aboriginal Australia.

With every project, Wiimali honours its name — lighting the fire, guiding the way and leaving a legacy on Country that will last beyond the job itself.
