We pay our respects to them and their cultures; and to elders both past and present. We acknowledge the Whadjuk people on whose land the JCHMC offices resides.

John would have to be the best archaeologist we have ever worked with, and being an anthropologist means we can communicate our values of a place so companies know right away, giving us greater control of our heritage.
If anybody knows Country its John, he's always done a great job by me.
I consider him like a brother, we have been walking this country together for years, finding sites, protecting sites, recording them, he's supported me and my family, my art, other initiatives, yeah he's one of us.
JCHMC was engaged as heritage consultant for the Peel Business Park project in Nambeelup and undertook all the desktop, survey and the legislative Aboriginal heritage approvals. Consultation and support of the Traditional Owners was obtained for all project works, with monitoring taking place for works which included the industrial land subdivision and major trunk infrastructure extensions.
The efficacy and efficiency of having John undertake simultaneously Archaeological and Ethnographic surveys is unparalleled. The reports are detailed yet succinct, the recommendations clear giving us a formal path to walk on that is on point and endorsed by the Traditional Owners.
Someone will be in touch soon
