Supporting the Indigenous business sector - we were fortunate to attend the recent ‘Indigenous Business Lunch’ event organised by Business News to better understand how businesses can better integrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses into their operations.
The event featured a diverse panel featuring leading Indigenous corporations and private entrepreneurs, who provided insight into the future of Indigenous enterprise in WA and the challenges they’ve overcome to reach the levels of success they have achieved.
Keynote speaker, Hon. Don Punch MLA, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and the panel discussed valuable insights on the strategies that have been fuelling the last decade of success and growth for Indigenous businesses in WA, as the region looks to implement new strategies to support Indigenous business representation.
With our parent company, Webuild, we are guided by our Reconciliation Action Plan and committed to delivering on our vision, to enable equal participation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People across the nation-building project we deliver.
