New South Wales Indigenous Chamber of Commerce

The New South Wales Indigenous Chamber of Commercce (NSWICC) fosters and nurtures the desire and motivation of Indigenous people who have made the decision to participate in the economy as business owners.

Indigenous Chambers of Commerce were established several years ago to provide Indigenous business owners with a network that was relevant to their unique needs. Through the success of these grass roots networks it was soon realised that there was a significant absence of adequate and relevant capacity building support available to meet the unique needs of Indigenous people in business. The NSWICC is an independent representative body that aims to support and enhance the employment, economic and social prosperity of Indigenous people across the state of New South Wales. The NSWICC works with Indigenous businesses and social enterprises to support and increase their access and participation in the mainstream economy. NSWICC has been successfully established as the Peak Body for Indigenous Business in New South Wales.

We foster the growth of regional networks to support local Indigenous businesses, and improve pathways for trade and investment opportunities.

Advocacy

NSWICC plays a key role in building the awareness of the Indigenous business community and in advancing a more informed Sector. NSWICC assists in the facilitation of an intermediate labour market model, which creates significant Indigenous employment opportunities.

Advice

NSWICC ensures Indigenous businesses have access to adequate and relevant business support so that they may achieve competitiveness, growth and equity of opportunity. We work to ensure that the procurement environment is receptive to the engagement of Indigenous suppliers and that barriers to business success are minimised.
