Centre for Social Impact (UWA) National Conference 2011 : Indigenous Business, Corporations and Entrepreneurship: New Models, Stronger Communities Other events...
The Centre for Social Impact (UWA) National Conference 2011 will shape opinion and understanding, and share best practice and research on the role of Indigenous business and Indigenous corporations in expanding economic opportunities for Indigenous people and creating positive social and economic impact for Indigenous communities.

In recent years there has been a significant growth in Indigenous business in Australia, providing new opportunities for employment, income and wealth generation. Indigenous business activity represents one of the most promising strategies available to address the chronic gap between the economic, social and health outcomes of Indigenous Australians and those of non-Indigenous Australians.

Keynote speakers include Wayne Bergmann - CEO, Kimberley Regional Economic Development Corporation; Natalie Walker - CEO, Australian Indigenous Minority Supplier Council and Ian Trust, Executive Chairman, Wunan Foundation and Director, Indigenous Business Australia.

Other speakers include Simon Hawkiins – CEO Yamatji Marpla Aborginal Corporation; Shane Hamilton – WA State Manager, Community Housing Limited; Kimberley Kohan – Principal Advisor, Aboriginal Business Development Rio Tinto; Brenda Love – Director of Strategic Partnership, Dept of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations and case studies from many Indigenous enterprises.
