01 / 2015
We began as an innovation consultancy, helping large organisations like Qantas, EY, Bupa, and ANZ transform their operations through technology.
02 / 2020
As COVID disrupted markets, we pivoted from institutional innovation to delivering agile engineering teams for technology companies, led by industry veterans and backed by a strong advisory board.
03 / Late 2020
When the World Food Programme enlisted us to support conflict-sensitivity tech in the Philippines and Bangladesh, we demonstrated our model works at scale and in complex environments.
04 / 2021
Following that success, we partnered with the Swiss Government and the United Nations to support critical programs in the Horn of Africa, solidifying our role in mission-driven tech.
05 / 2020 to 2022
We grew from a tight-knit core of six to over 100 full-time engineers, focused on empowering early-stage companies and high-impact initiatives.
06 / Late 2022
Station Five had evolved beyond its original scope. We rebranded to Adaca, a name that pays tribute to Ada Lovelace, the first ever computer programmer.
07 / 2023
Adaca sharpened its focus on regulated industries, building experience across fintech, super, and government. The same context now applies across all six verticals.
08 / 2024
We commenced research and development into AI Services, the early shape of what is now the AI Services practice.
09 / 2025
We launched AI-Augmented Software Development: senior engineers shipping production software faster with AI tools in the delivery flow, using the same engagement model as our core Personnel offering.
10 / 2026
Vendor-agnostic AI operations launched across Anthropic Claude, OpenAI ChatGPT, and Microsoft Copilot. Run-the-engine support for the AI estate, regardless of platform.

Our experience with Adaca has been nothing short of exceptional. They helped us recruit the right person for a challenging role that we found difficult to fill for some time. They took care to listen to what we needed, worked with us to identify the key skills and personal attributes required for the role then presented us with quality candidates and continually refined the process with us until we found the right candidate. Overall, Adaca has been a valuable partner, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration.
