The physical design and characteristics of the neighbourhood environment influence a range of social and health outcomes. The urban environment influences the way in which we raise families and provide for our future.

8:00 - CONFERENCE - Indigenous Business, Enterprise and Corporations Conference 2016 Website | More Information
IBECC 2016 is Australia's premier Indigenous business and economic conference, hosted by Centre for Social Impact UWA and the UWA School of Indigenous Studies.

Since the first IBECC in 2011, the Indigenous business, enterprise and corporations sector has grown in size and scope despite the many challenges it has faced. The Australian government's Indigenous Procurement Policy has resulted in increased demand for Indigenous business, creating significant new opportunities. Native Title groups continue to develop economic opportunities from Indigenous Land Use Agreements and other sources. Indigenous innovation and entrepreneurship is stronger than ever, touching all parts of the economy. Across many of the Closing the Gap indicators, however, Australia is not making the kind of progress we all want to see. Examining the links between the Indigenous economy and social change has been an ongoing theme of IBECC since it began. The Conference also explores options for strengthening Indigenous business education.

Collaboration is a fundamental part of supporting the health and growth of the Indigenous economy, of businesses and enterprises, and of communities. Through a uniquely integrated program of strong academic contributions and lessons learned in practice, IBECC 2016 is your chance to learn from case studies and research, connect with others, and share your own experiences.
