Is your business keen to increase procurement from First Nations businesses?

This practical webinar took a deep dive into this topic including:

The Australian Government’s Indigenous Procurement Policy (IPP) aims to support growth in the First Nations business sector by significantly increasing the rate of purchasing from First Nations businesses. Since it began in 2015, more than $9 billion in Commonwealth contracts have been awarded to First Nations businesses.
