Wednesday marked a historic milestone for the Indigenous business sector across Australia.

NCCI Chair Gordon Cole joined leaders of Indigenous business chambers from around Australia to officially launch the National Indigenous Business Chambers Alliance (NIBCA). A powerful collaboration uniting Indigenous business voices nationwide.

The NIBCA strengthens the collective ability to shape policy, influence key decisions, and drive meaningful economic opportunities for First Nations businesses. It is grounded in shared values of self-determination, cultural strength, and economic empowerment.

NCCI is proud to stand alongside fellow chambers in the formation of NIBCA, reinforcing a national commitment to advancing the success and sustainability of Indigenous businesses across the country!
