The Cultural Choice Indigenous product range feature its delicate and intricate logo, created by the late Uncle Les Elvin; drawing on the traditional art of Gamilaroi. It depicts the journey of the two rivers (waters) in the Walgett area, the Namoi and the Barwon. The five water holes are the spirits of the grandmother, her grandson, his wife and their two sons. The dotted circle is a place of meeting, with seated people. In its centre where the earth’s colours blend, A totem of the Gamilaroi people, the sand goanna, covers himself with these colours so he may merge into his surroundings.

Why Cultural Choice:

Cultural Choice supports the work of the Cultural Choice Association through direct contributions from sales of its products AND is the only TRUE Aboriginal Australian owned and operated, independent, stationery and work supplies company currently in operation with a National footprint.

Being 100% Aboriginal owned and operated, using Cultural Choice directly for your stationery and work supplies can assist your organisation to secure whole of Government contracts - 100% of your order value is a direct Aboriginal spend under the Commonwealth’s Indigenous Procurement Policy(IPP) and NSW Aboriginal Procurement Policy (APP).

Direct engagement will also enable your organisation to meet any Reconciliation Action Plans and/or Indigenous Policy Framework that you may have in place.

Cultural Choice promotes the inherent beauty of Indigenous culture not only through its visuals but also with language. Linguist John Giacon, who has been involved with the Yuwaalaraay Gamilaraay people and languages since 1994, has worked with Mark and Jodie to develop Gamilaraay words to describe the items.

• The notebook is nguudhuul (nguu – paper bark tree; dhuul – little)
• The spiral note book is Nguudhuul Gayagalaraay (nguu-paperbark tree;dhuul-little,gayagal-spiral/helix;gaya-y-turn) – little book with spiral
• The writing pad is girraabil (girraa – leaf; -bil – many)
• The Post-it notes are mamayaanduul (mamayaan – thing that sticks, from mamay – to stick)
• Tissues are Gaanbalduul (little wiper)

The words and their translations appear on the products.

In the offices of corporate Australia and Government departments – particularly those with a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) – Cultural Choice products will work to inspire an appreciation for the uniqueness of language and the ancient origins of Indigenous culture.

About Cultural Choice

Cultural Choice Office Supplies is the creation of Gamilaroi man Mark Watson and his wife Jodie.

Our Purpose - Connect corporate capacity with stronger futures for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young adults.

Our Dream - Mark and Jodie together have a life long history of advocating for and supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth and young adults. Their dream is to support young members of their community through a focus on education, employment, and wellbeing that provides the opportunity to believe in a future without limitation.

After becoming members of the NSW Indigenous Chamber of Commerce and gaining Supply Nation Certification, Mark and Jodie worked tirelessly to build relationships with suppliers and community partners to create a truly authentic and unique Aboriginal product range under the Cultural Choice banner.

The Cultural Choice product range now extends from general stationery to janitorial, personal hygiene, cleaning, and chemicals. To fulfil their dream of creating life changing opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth, the Watson family established the not-for-profit Cultural Choice Association. 10 cents from every Cultural Choice labelled product sold goes to the Association to provide education opportunities and to create programs that help improve wellbeing, so that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young adults can believe in and achieve a stronger future without limitation.
