Nurturing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Business and Entrepreneurship
Meaning ‘to dance’ in Wadawurrung, Ngarrimili was established to nurture and support business and entrepreneurship opportunities amongst Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across Australia. We work with businesses, artists and creatives through tailored, culturally informed support.
We tailor our support to meet the needs of businesses and founders wherever they are in their business journey. We believe founder wellbeing, through a lens of culture and connection, is vital to business success.

Business Shout Out @tangentyereartists
Town Camp Designs is a collection of products created by Ewyenper Atwatye, Tangentyere Artists and Yarrenyty Arltere Artists.
They are a 100% Aboriginal owned and run art centre. All sales directly support the artists, with all profit going towards artists fees and future projects.
Do you work in the business sector and would like to learn about First People’s Data Sovereignty and Data Governance? Generally, this is the right for First Peoples to govern the collection, ownership and application of data about them and their communities, lands and resources.
The Department of Jobs, Skills, Industry and Regions (DJSIR) is developing a First Peoples’ Data Sovereignty Framework and your valuable knowledge of the Victorian Indigenous business sector is being sought to shape the Framework.
The workshop will be delivered by Jaramer Legal on behalf of DJSIR, and it will be a great opportunity to learn more about the emerging trend of Data Sovereignty and how it can benefit Indigenous Victorians.
