Aboriginal business roundtable success

Aboriginal businesses were invited to a special Aboriginal Business Roundtable event in Wagga Wagga in April. The free event, organised by Aboriginal Affairs NSW, explored how Aboriginal businesses can access and maximise their capital. There were great opportunities to network, collaborate and gain valuable insights. 

The Aboriginal Business Roundtable is a key initiative of the NSW Government’s Closing the Gap commitment to support economic opportunities for Aboriginal people and communities. Delivering greater economic prosperity for Aboriginal people and communities is fundamental to supporting better life outcomes across the board.
