Our story
Building opportunities, building futures
Kardan is always seeking new ways to achieve meaningful social outcomes, and our community involvement continues to grow. For us, this includes championing Aboriginal sole traders and subcontractors by awarding Kardan contracts that create new pathways into the construction industry for Aboriginal people.
The Kardan Way involves close collaboration with other contractors, including Wilco Electrical and Legacy Construction. We also support people over 55, initiatives such as Women in Construction, and a range of community groups, including Art Vs Depression, FISH, WADE, and LOOP, as well as Aboriginal partner businesses such as Moorditj Painting.
As of December 2020, Kardan had created 13 Aboriginal apprenticeships, six traineeships, and three trade assistant positions as part of its commitment to creating employment opportunities and long-term security for Aboriginal people in Western Australia
A legacy of quality & respect
Beyond creating employment opportunities, Kardan is committed to fostering and nurturing both company and Indigenous cultures. Respecting spirit and wellbeing remains central to delivering meaningful, skill-based outcomes. Frank and the Kardan executives thank everyone who has contributed to this success. Without the ongoing support of our valued partners, customers, proactive team and the wider Kardan community, we would not be where we are today.
Kardan is widely recognised as a multi-award-winning business, receiving state and national accolades for excellence and Indigenous leadership. Kardan co-founder Frank Mitchell was also named Local Hero for Western Australia in the 2026 Australian of the Year Awards.
