Department of Families, Housing, Community Services & Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA) commissioned us to develop a flip-chart utilising illustrations and pictograms to help explain changes to law, and other aspects of the NT Intervention. This was primarily an educational tool that was used to explain legal concepts to Indigenous communities, where English is often a second or third language.

Illustrations were tested with Indigenous community members to ensure that they were appropriately toned and respectful, as well as accurately describing the changes that were occurring. Personally, we didn’t support the intervention, but felt it was important that people understood the changes taking place.

This design was a finalist in this year’s AGDA Awards, for instructional book design.

We were commissioned to develop a series of information cards to help explain to health workers the different categories that health workers and their indigenous patients fall into. These categories enable funding to be appropriately allocated in regional areas where the majority of these health services are provided. However, prior to the introduction of these information cards there was a general confusion over these categories, resulting in collection of incorrect data through forms and correspondence. We redeveloped the text in conjunction with a series of pictograms to tackle these problems.
