First Nations Chamber of Commerce and Industry

It was great to be part of the Capability Statement Workshops and connect with businesses across Central Queensland in Biloela, Gladstone, and Rockhampton last week.

Delivered by the Queensland Government Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning in partnership with Powerlink Queensland, the workshops provided valuable insights and practical tools to support business growth. It was also a fantastic opportunity to engage with Industry Capability Network – Queensland (ICN QLD) and connect with First Nations businesses across the region.

FNCCI is proud to support initiatives that empower local businesses with the knowledge and connections they need to thrive.

Yesterday we had the opportunity to host Amber Stevenson, Regional Economic Development Manager, Rio Tinto at the FNCCI Business Hub, in Gladstone. 🤝

It was a fantastic opportunity to connect, alongside discussions with FNBGGGTB Development Corporation, to identify potential procurement and increase supply chain participation for our people, while strengthening relationships and exploring future collaboration. 🚀

We look forward to continuing these conversations and working together to create meaningful, long-term outcomes for regional Queensland. 💼🌱

The opening of FNCCI Summit '24 truly set the tone for what's to come. 🎯

A powerful celebration of culture paired with focused dialogue on optimising First Nations participation and outcomes across Australia. From renewable energy collaborations to native title agreements, from workforce development to genuine industry partnerships—Summit '24 showcased the real, tangible outcomes of respectful engagement. 🤝

This is the 'Art of Doing' in action. And we're just getting started.

Looking forward to building on this momentum into Summit '26. 🚀

🚗✨ FNCCI Drives Forward with Purpose! ✨🚗

We’re excited to announce that First Nations Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI) has officially purchased our brand-new 2025 Toyota RAV4 GXL from Mike Carney Toyota, based in beautiful Townsville, North Queensland!

Why Mike Carney Toyota? ✅

Because they’re not just about cars, they’re about community. Their commitment to supporting First Nations peoples and businesses, both internally and externally, truly aligns with our values.

Our connection began at the FNCCI Summit in Gladstone (Nov 26–27, 2024), where we met the incredible team members Kane Leong and Porzhia Jacobsen. They joined us to learn how organisations like theirs can better empower First Nations communities and they’ve delivered!

FNCCI is proud to drive this new chapter forward, and even prouder to have purchased with a dealership that shares our vision for economic empowerment and cultural respect.

Here’s to strong connection and stronger communities! 🌏💪
