Intract Australia - Supply Nation Certified Business

Intract Indigenous Contractors is proud to be recognised as a Certified Supplier for Supply Nation, Australia’s first Indigenous supplier diversity council dedicated to growing the work opportunities available to Indigenous business across the country.

Supply Nation (formerly the Australian Indigenous Minority Supplier Council) was established in 2009 to encourage the growth of Indigenous businesses by advocating for strong Federal Government Indigenous business procurement policies and linking organisations with certified Indigenous suppliers.

As a majority Indigenous owned enterprise, we value the importance of diversity in the business sector and strive to build a unified, talented, and culturally-aware workforce that respects the First Peoples of this land and offers equal employment opportunities across all levels of our organisation.

Through Supply Nation, we are able to forge mutually beneficial relationships with organisations seeking to engage Indigenous contractors in the construction and building maintenance industries. These opportunities, and our commitment to providing stable, long-term employment for Indigenous Australians, allow us to contribute towards a sustainable, vibrant, and prosperous Indigenous business sector in Australia.
