Popularly known as Pauline from Play School, Pauline was one of the first First Nations performers to appear regularly on a nation-wide television show in Australia. Throughout her lifetime Pauline presented her Cultural Learning stories at schools, working with children and youth from preschool to high school grades. She was also a guest lecturer in Aboriginal studies at TAFE colleges and universities throughout New South Wales and a storyteller at the Opera House, Australian Museum and the National Gallery in Canberra.
In early 2021, the McLeod family established the Not for Profit, Pauline E. McLeod Foundation in honour of Pauline. The McLeod family carries on the mission of Pauline with Michael McLeod as Chairman.
Dedicated to creating opportunities for the next generation, the Foundation’s focus areas include First Nations mental health, entrepreneurship and education as well as positive employment opportunities for First Nations Australians.
At BunjilView, we believe that real progress occurs when commercial acumen meets First Nations-led capability can solve real problems. Our commitment to land stewardship and Traditional Owners goes beyond emerging technologies; it is rooted in creating a self-sustaining ecosystem of support. When you partner with BunjilView, you are not just accessing an industry-leading platform; you are participating in this mission. Through a committed reinvestment model, 20% of our profits is donated back to the PEM Foundation.
This creates a powerful multiplier effect, where every project fuels a social return that drives change across four core pillars:
Engaging genuinely, we listen to the priority needs and opportunities for First Nations Communities. We work with Corporates, First Nations businesses, Government departments, and organisations to deliver lasting improvements on a range of outcomes.
1 in 4 First Nations Peoples have Mental Health concerns, this is the highest in the country!
We need another 50,000 First Nations entrepreneurs that closes the gap of Indigenous procurement, that brings unique products and their unique products and services to market.
We want to create real and meaningful jobs for First Nations people that recognise their unique skills and innovative mindset and character.
Our philosophy is to develop capability by building scalable First Nation businesses and developing greater engagement of First Nation skills. Creating a virtuous circle where all involved in the supply chain are motivated and committed to support meaningful First Nation engagement
