ASM Global Australia appoints First Nations ambassador

Quandamooka traditional owner and prominent First Nations advocate, Cameron Costello has been appointed First Nations ambassador for ASM Global Australia, the company that manages a number of venues across the country.

Costello is deputy chair of the Queensland Tourism Industry Council, interim chair of the Queensland First Nations Tourism Council, and has been appointed to Queensland Government’s Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Legacy Committee.

He sees synergy between First Nations peoples who have been gathering and conducting ceremony on country for tens of thousands of years, and ASM Global, who in continuing that tradition, creates new and meaningful opportunities for First Nations peoples to play a role.

He would use his many years of experience to guide and assist with the preparation and development of a Reconciliation Action Plan for ASM Global, and advise the leadership team on First Nations projects and protocols. He will also work with the group’s Australian venues on cultural competency training, and assist when needed.
