About Us
Australian Spatial Analytics (ASA) is a non-profit social enterprise creating data solutions for an inclusive workforce. We exist to employ neurodiverse individuals previously locked out of employment to provide B2B professional data services to Federal and State Government Departments and Medium & Large Enterprise. The work we do includes the Digitisation of Energy Assets, Farm and Livestock Mapping and Telecommunication Network Design.
We are an emerging company with a strong pipeline of growth planned over the next 24 months. We currently employ 65 people in our Head Office in Brisbane; 54 of which live with a disability, namely autism spectrum disorder. This makes us one of the larges work-integrated social enterprises (WISE) in the country and we’re less than 2 years old!
We do real work for real clients. Our data services include:
- Geospatial: Geographic Information System (GIS) Analysis
- Design: Technical Design and Engineering Services
- AI: Machine Learning annotation
Since forming in 2020, ASA has grown significantly and has made the decision to expand to Melbourne, Victoria. The new site in Cremorne will house up to 20 ASA personnel over the next 12 months. You are the second hire and will support the State Operations Lead to build the new office from the ground up! You will share the office space with ASA’s parent entity, White Box Enterprises.
