Partnerships

Indigenous Business Australia (IBA) is an integral partner within the Government’s Indigenous Economic Development Strategy, which seeks to close the gap between Indigenous Australians and other Australians’ standard of living.

We identify and pursue opportunities that enable Indigenous Australians to create wealth, accumulate assets and achieve their financial aspirations.

IBA builds mutually respectful and responsible partnerships with Indigenous Australians, government agencies, private sector business and industry to:

• deliver commercial opportunities that achieve positive outcomes in housing, employment and wealth creation for Indigenous Australians
• help shape and inform private sector and whole-of-government initiatives to improve economic development outcomes for Indigenous people.

Ngarda Civil & Mining is owned by the Ngarda Ngarli Yarndu Foundation, IBA and Leighton Contractors Pty Ltd, and was recently awarded a five year contract with BHP Billiton. Read this partnership story in full (PDF 431KB, new window) Read more partnership Good News Stories.
