100% Australian owned
Angus Knight Group (AKG) was co-founded by Duncan Angus more than 30 years ago. It remains 100% Australian-owned and has supported more than 1,000,000 people toward their full potential.
Our model
A global network with local roots. AKG was founded more than 30 years ago by Duncan Angus, a ‘boy from the bush’ who experienced his own challenges in finding meaningful training and employment.
Duncan co-founded AKG, with the belief that compassion, experience and skill development empowers people to make their lives and communities better.
Today, all of us at AKG remain true to its purpose: to empower people through employment, health, and education, enabling people to thrive in their communities.
We achieve this through our extensive global network, our consultant’s skills and lived experience, and commitment to our purpose.
Global network
Our extensive global network spans 300 locations over six countries, equipping us with hundreds of highly skilled experts, specialist knowledge and valuable contacts within thousands of communities.
Lived experience
Our services are designed and delivered by people with lived experience of the issues and challenges our clients face and insights from the customers we support. Our highly trained consultants support our customers with empathy, providing them with hope and understanding as well as practical skills.
True to our beliefs
We’re passionate about empowering people and helping them transform their lives. This purpose is what keeps us working, innovating, and growing to extend our support.
Proven impact
In 30 years, we’ve helped more than 1,000,000 people discover their skills and ability to write a brighter future. We continue to develop new programmes and opportunities that enable customers to make positive life changes and better communities.

AKG is privileged to work in many countries across the globe. We acknowledge the traditional owners and First Nations people for all those places and recognise their connections to lands, water, sky, and community. We are dedicated to learning about local Indigenous People and culture, to sharing what we learn, and to listening and respecting Indigenous voices. We pay our respects to them, their elders and their cultures.
