Tauto had more than 35 years' experience in Aboriginal affairs, in both the private and public sectors.

His breadth of knowledge, expertise and experience is respected across Australia. He worked collaboratively with a wide range of organisations and individuals to achieve effective, culturally appropriate, positive outcomes for Aboriginal people.

Garridja's reputation as an effective Aboriginal consultancy grew rapidly when Tauto established the service in 2012.

He was a sought-after specialist consultant to the private, public, NGO, ommunity and education sectors to assist in Closing the Gap in Aboriginal disadvantage.

It is with great sadness that it is reported that Tauto died on 23 September, 2019 after a 15 month battle with Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
