Supply Nation

Australia's leading directory and verifier of Indigenous-owned businesses, providing the registration that underpins eligibility for Indigenous Procurement Policy contracts.

A national not-for-profit organisation that operates Australia's largest directory of verified Indigenous businesses (Indigenous Business Direct). Suppliers are registered after evidence-based verification that they are at least 50 percent owned, managed, and controlled by Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people; certified suppliers meet the higher 51 percent threshold confirmed through audit. Government agencies and many large corporates use Supply Nation registration as the standard for sourcing under the Commonwealth Indigenous Procurement Policy and their own diversity targets. Supply Nation also provides connection events, business support, and reporting that helps members track their Indigenous procurement spend. For buyers, sourcing from a Supply Nation-registered business such as Birak provides documented evidence of Indigenous spend that can be reported against IPP and corporate reconciliation commitments.
