About Us
Indigenous-Owned. National Capability.
Ochre Digital Infrastructure combines 20+ years of telecommunications delivery with a commitment to Indigenous economic participation and community outcomes.
Our Story
Built on Heritage, Delivering the Future
Ochre Digital Infrastructure is an Indigenous-owned company established to deliver world-class telecommunications infrastructure while creating lasting economic opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
Our roots run deep in Australia's telecommunications landscape. With over 20 years of proven delivery across fibre networks, data centre infrastructure, satellite earth stations, and structured cabling, our leadership and technical teams have built and maintained some of the most complex communications infrastructure in the country.
From national mobile rollout programs to hyperscale data centre refurbishments, from LEO constellation ground stations to remote community connectivity — our teams have delivered critical infrastructure across every state and territory in Australia.
Ochre Digital Infrastructure was founded with a clear purpose: to combine deep technical capability with a genuine commitment to Indigenous economic participation. As a Supply Nation registered supplier, we give government and enterprise clients the choice of partnering with a registered Indigenous business — without compromising on technical quality, safety, or national scale.
We are proudly Indigenous-owned and staffed by a 100% sovereign Australian workforce. Our name, Ochre, reflects our connection to Country and culture — a material used by Aboriginal peoples for tens of thousands of years, and now a symbol of our bridge between heritage and Australia's digital future.
Connection to Country
Why “Ochre”
Ochre is one of the oldest and most significant materials in Aboriginal culture. Used in ceremony, art, and storytelling for over 60,000 years, it represents connection to Country, community, and the continuity of knowledge across generations.
We chose the name Ochre Digital Infrastructure because it bridges the ancient and the modern — honouring the enduring strength of Indigenous culture while building the digital infrastructure that connects Australia's future.
Like the ochre that has connected communities for millennia, our fibre, satellite, and data centre networks connect people, places, and possibilities across this vast continent.
Supply Nation Registered

Ochre Digital Infrastructure is a Supply Nation registered Indigenous-owned business. Supply Nation is the Australian leader in supplier diversity, connecting registered Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses with procurement opportunities across government and corporate Australia.
Our registration means that when you partner with ODI, your procurement contributes directly to Indigenous economic participation and community outcomes — while receiving the same telco-grade quality and national delivery capability you expect from any tier-1 infrastructure provider.
For organisations with Indigenous procurement targets, Reconciliation Action Plan commitments, or Commonwealth Indigenous Procurement Policy obligations, ODI provides a genuine, capable, and registered Indigenous supplier across the full spectrum of telecommunications infrastructure.
