According to the Subiaco-based group's artistic director Kyle Morrison, there is a shortage in the areas of producing, directing, technical, production and project management.
He said it needed to be addressed for Aboriginal theatre to continue into future generations.
"One of the interesting things about Aboriginal theatre especially in this state is it's kind of been through a couple of peak periods but then there hasn't been that sustainability or longevity, which enabled us to keep it going," he said.

Last month, Yirra Yaakin launched a crowd funding and donation campaign to grow and develop the next generation of indigenous directors and producers.
Funds raised will support selected professional trainees Shakara Walley and Ian Wilkes in a 12-month program of professional development at Yirra Yaakin.
"Our current resources are stretched to the limit as we struggle to maintain our core programs," Mr Morrison said.
"We are reaching out to the community and asking them to join us in supporting Shakara and Ian so they have the opportunity to achieve at the highest level."
Ms Walley, who co-ordinated the indigenous segment of the Giants production earlier this year, said she hoped to get funding and make a difference to the industry.
"It would mean a lot, especially in this industry because there aren't many indigenous producers."
