Associations

As an Indigenous business, it’s important for Barpa to remain connected with other indigenous businesses so we can continue to support each other.

We strive to engage more Indigenous businesses in our operations as we grow. This is a core principle of Barpa, as we believe that a strong Indigenous business sector will greatly assist in ‘Closing the Gap’.
We are associated with organisations that link with and support Indigenous Businesses.

Supply Nation is endorsed by the Australian Government as the leading directory of Indigenous businesses for their procurement teams to fulfil their targets under the new Indigenous Procurement Policy. Being certified means a business is 51% or more Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander owned, managed and controlled.
