our story

The Totem Collective (TOTEM),where the spirit of skateboarding collides with the power of community connection. Since our inception in 2010, we've been on a relentless mission to break down barriers and make every workshop and event 100% FREE for our diverse community.

As trailblazers in the skate event scene, TOTEM has fostered enduring relationships with Councils, Youth Services, NGOs, Brands, and Communities stretching across the vast landscapes of Australia. Our journey is rooted in the understanding that Councils and Communities need support in navigating the intricacies of Youth, Community, and Skateparks in their areas.

We take pride in our reputation for delivering not just events but experiences. TOTEM is synonymous with professional advice, meticulous planning, and flawlessly executed Skate and Art-focused workshops. From the heart of bustling cities to the far reaches of remote areas, we've carved our path through the Australian landscape.

SKATE ~ CREATE ~ EMPOWER

is not just a motto; it's the heartbeat of everything we do. We believe that young minds, families, and communities across cities, regional hubs, and remote landscapes deserve equal opportunities to share positive experiences with their peers. At TOTEM, we are more than an event company; we are your dedicated partners in fostering these opportunities and creating a platform for shared growth and empowerment.

Join us as we roll through cities, regional hubs, and remote landscapes, bringing the spirit of

SKATE ~ CREATE ~ EMPOWER to every corner of Australia. Whether you're a skater, a creator, or a supporter, be a part of the journey. Together, let's skate, create lasting memories, and empower communities across the diverse tapestry of Australia.

“Our programs are designed to shine a light on young people and families no matter where they live. To give them a moment to SKATE and CREATE. Every young person deserves a moment to feel EMPOWERED and to shine; we give them that moment”

With a background as a Youth Worker, Director Nigel Cameron has over 25 years of experience designing Skateparks and Skateboarding-focused programs with a core mission to boost self-esteem, nurture personal identity and promote positive self-image through skateboarding.

The impact of our work speaks for itself. Every event boasts success stories of personal growth, personal development, empowerment, and community building from both families and the Councils we work with. We pride ourselves on continuously building strong relationships and stronger, more resilient individuals, families and communities through our programs.
