View RangeCompliance through procurement, not paperwork
The IPP mandates that Australian Commonwealth agencies and their contractors meet annual targets for spending with First Nations businesses. By 2029-2030, organisations must direct 4% of total contract value to Indigenous enterprises.
As a Supply Nation Registered First Nations business, every purchase you make with Birak contributes directly to your IPP targets. We provide detailed compliance documentation with every transaction — no additional paperwork, no additional cost.
