Who we are
About Us
Muru in the Language of the Darug people and Murru in the language of my people (Wiradjuri) and other coastal Communities of NSW means road, track or pathway and represents the journey we are on with our clients.
As a 100% First Nations female owned, Supply Nation Certified and multiple award winning consultancy, Muru are always aware of the importance of Community and Culture. Although Muru are based in Newcastle NSW, I am a proud Wiradjuri woman from Dubbo. We therefore acknowledge both our Wiradjuri Elders (past and present), and Community members, and the Worimi people and their Elders past and present on whose land we work and play.
