As a leading company in the commercial furniture industry, we offer a wide range of products and possess a thorough understanding of government procurement processes and compliance requirements.
This expertise positions us as a solid choice for government agencies seeking furniture solutions that prioritise durability, cost-effectiveness, and adherence to strict standards.

Atama’s Experience
Atama Furniture collaborated with AIM Australia and Venues NSW to supply a variety of high-quality, customised furniture to the premium $850M, 42,000-seat Sydney Football Stadium complex in Moore Park. This project, completed in June 2022, involved providing large mobile servery units, task chairs, meeting chairs, tables, sofas, workbenches, and conference chairs for more than 50 corporate suites, back-of-house areas, and stadium conference facilities.
Atama Furniture accelerated the preparation of production drawings, manufacturing, and shipping to meet a tight deadline, and the assembly and installation took place over two weeks, delivering all items on time and within budget with no project variations. The high-end finishes and contemporary design of the furniture helped create some of the best sporting corporate areas in Australia.
Designing furniture for medical and healthcare environments requires a distinct approach compared to other industries. In healthcare, prioritising infection control and safety is paramount, with these considerations taking precedence over all other design elements.
At Atama, we fully embrace this ethos, ensuring that all our products meet the highest standards of hygiene and safety. We were privileged to supply loose furniture items for the Medifit Sky Orthodontics clinic in Wanneroo, WA, working closely with the Medifit team to deliver a range of soft seating solutions for the front waiting area, meeting rooms, and treatment spaces.
We also had the opportunity to contribute to the Middle Swan Residential Care facility, a 120-bed aged care home developed by Masonic Care WA. This facility offers expert care and accommodation for elderly Western Australians in Perth’s eastern suburbs. Aged care facilities require a thoughtful approach to design, balancing comfort, safety, and accessibility. We provided furniture that not only supports the physical and mental well-being of residents but also creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere—helping to make them feel at home.
In addition to healthcare and aged care, Atama has extensive experience creating high-quality furniture for educational environments. We’ve delivered premium solutions to renowned institutions such as Campus Perth & Hostel G. Atama’s educational furniture is designed with a deep understanding of how the physical learning environment influences intellectual development.
Our work at Campus Perth, involved supplying both built-in and loose furniture, along with FF&E for eight floors of common areas. The project also included the supply and installation of retro-fitted skirting, kitchen lockers, mattresses, curtains, rubbish disposal units, electrical integration, and stencil painting, showcasing our wide range of capabilities.
This complex project required six months of contract negotiations, extensive manufacturer coordination, the preparation of over 1,000 manufacturing drawings, and the development of prototype samples. The six-month installation process involved more than 60 x 40’ container loads of FF & E weighing over 500 tonnes, and comprising more than 40,000 pieces of furniture.
Understanding Government Furniture Needs
Government agencies operate in a variety of environments, each with its own specific needs and challenges. For example, the furniture in state parliament offices varies from that in courtrooms. Similarly, furniture in government training facilities and public service centres varies to meet their unique requirements.
We have developed our expertise to address these diverse needs. The outcome is excellent pieces of furniture created to meet the unique demands of the government sector.
In all, while government furniture may have distinct requirements, we believe it should possess the same key attributes as furniture provided to the corporate and private sectors.
What are these attributes?
This is a must. Government furniture needs to be designed to handle heavy use and last for years. So, how do our furniture solutions meet this need?
Our products are crafted using high-quality materials and construction techniques that prioritise strength, resilience, and longevity. We make use of solid wood frames as well as commercial-grade fabrics and finishes.
Our main goal is to create durable furniture that can withstand daily wear and tear while keeping its structural integrity and visual appeal for years.
Employees deserve to feel comfortable at work; they need to know that their employers have their well-being in mind, even with the smallest provisions.
Our furniture solutions are designed with ergonomic principles in mind. This means they are built to encourage proper posture, reduce strain, and lower the risk of workplace injuries.
Depending on the needs of your establishment, we can provide adjustable desks and chairs that encourage correct spinal alignment. If you prefer specialised workstations that help reduce repetitive stress, we can definitely make that happen. Whatever your needs are, we prioritise comfort and safety in every product we offer. This is our contribution to creating productive environments across government institutions.
We understand that there are distinct variances in principles adopted by government agencies and other institutions. While it is recommended that private commercial businesses invest in products that encourage accessibility, this is a necessity for government institutions.
Government agencies must comply with strict accessibility standards and regulations to ensure inclusivity and equal access for everyone, regardless of their physical abilities or disabilities.
Based on the specifics of your needs, wheelchair-accessible desks, adjustable seating, specialised fixtures, etc. - we conscientiously design our furniture solutions to meet these requirements.
It is very critical that government agencies, must consistently prioritise cost-effectiveness in their procurement decisions. At Atama Furniture, we understand this particular importance - delivering great value for taxpayer money.
To achieve this, we offer competitive pricing. Along with our focus on quality and durability, this ensures our furniture solutions deliver great value over time. People appreciate furniture supply companies that successfully lower long-term costs while optimising the use of public resources.
We offer a wide array of bespoke furniture solutions that cater to the specific functional and aesthetic requirements of government departments. Our offerings include, but are not limited to:
We offer a wide selection of office furniture, including desks, chairs, workstations, and storage solutions. These offerings are designed with a simple idea to promote productivity, comfort, and a professional work environment.

Effective communication and collaboration are essential in government departments, and meetings are a critical avenue to facilitate day-to-day government activities.
Our meeting room furniture solutions which include, conference and boardroom chairs and tables, presentation equipment, and multimedia setups among others, support seamless information-sharing.
First impressions to matter. We have a range of inviting reception and lobby furniture, and these include seating, information desks, and display units. This furniture is deigned to create a welcoming atmosphere for visitors.
There is no denying the fact that continuous learning and skill development are vital for all government employees.

As we always say, if you can picture it, we can build it. We have been in the furniture industry for more than three decades and understand the nuances of these specialised settings.
