Businesses that Stand the Test of Time!

Indigenous people have always been innovators, showing great ingenuity in a diverse and often harsh landscape - it is who we are.

First Innovators’ Indigenous business trainers and mentors work alongside Indigenous entrepreneurs to provide the tools, knowledge and networks needed to start and grow fulfilling and sustainable businesses, and to share each and every success with Indigenous communities across Australia.

“The digital marketing and storytelling component of the program has been amazing. So much information I wish I knew before I started my business. The deep dive into how a business operates, looking at the why, who we reach, and how we execute it has been incredible. I am grateful for everyone’s assistance. I have got so much out of the program and a lot I can implement into my business moving forward.”

— Fiona Harrison, Chocolate on Purpose
