Business–Indigenous Network

Business Council member companies employ more than 20,000 Indigenous Australians and spend hundreds of millions of dollars with Indigenous businesses each year.

Members of the Business-Indigenous Network meet regularly to share insights, experiences and perspectives on how best to engage with Indigenous Australians and communities.

For more information about Business Council member companies' Indigenous engagement activities, see the results of our 2016 Indigenous Engagement Survey.
