At the 2024 Northern Territory Indigenous Business Network’s Blak Awards we have been awarded Best Ally Business in recognition of working together to create more opportunity and greater potential for Indigenous businesses in the Northern Territory.  

We were also noted for our mentoring of startups, investment in employment, training, workforce development programs and career advancement opportunities for Indigenous individuals; as well as our unwavering support to Blak industry activities throughout the year.

We have a strong commitment to Australian industry spending $3.4 billion with Australian Business annually and $122 million with Australian Indigenous businesses. 

Our conscious procurement policy outlines that we must first seek out Indigenous businesses and this policy actively helps us meet our goals of increasing Indigenous business participation - which is currently at 27%.

Myriam Giovanazzi, Ventia’s Sub Contractor Coordinator for NT and WA says, “I’m so proud to receive this award on behalf of Ventia.  It acknowledges the great work we do in partnership with first nations communities and businesses in the Northern Territory.”
