Supporting Indigenous businesses

Our department operates 11 regional offices across Queensland supporting businesses to mature, grow and invest, including Indigenous businesses.

Support includes providing information via one-on-one interactions, presentations and workshops (both online and face-to-face).

There are a number of online databases that can be used to find an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander business providing a product, service or experience. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses can also add their business to these databases as a potential to benefit from Queensland’s major projects:

• Commissioned by the Queensland Government, ICN QLD manages the Black Business Finder. The database now lists over 750 Indigenous businesses.
• Supply Nation is an online database of verified First Nations businesses that can be searched by business, name, product, service, location or category,
• The Queensland Indigenous Business Network (QIBN) is the state-wide representative body for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses in Queensland.

The Queensland Government also has a range of targetted support options for Indigenous businesses.
