Aboriginal businesses
Chris COUZENS (Geelong) (13:10): I was pleased to announce the Geelong recipients of the Victorian Aboriginal business investment program. Well-known local businesses Blak Brews and Wanyaari Aboriginal Consultancy Services were two of the businesses awarded grants for training, mentorship, networking, marketing and expert advisory services and accreditations. AH Plumbing Services in Belmont was one of the local businesses to receive a grant to help them expand into new markets, complete building works and invest in developing their workforce. Investing in Aboriginal businesses is not just an economic opportunity, it is a pathway to empowering communities, creating sustainable jobs and driving us towards achieving economic equity within a generation.
