Supplier Diversity
UNSW are proud members of Supply Nation. Supply Nation provides Australia’s leading database of verified Indigenous businesses: search by business name, product, service, area, or category. We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land, sea and skies- Australia's First Peoples. We are grateful to those who have come before us and who have nurtured and protected Country for future generations ad we pay our respects to Elders past and present.
Supply Nation is the first and pre-eminent supplier diversity organisation in Australia. Since 2009, Supply Nation has worked with Indigenous businesses and procurement teams from government to corporate, to help shape today's emerging and rapidly evolving Indigenous business sector.
UNSW encourage staff who are wishing to engage third party providers for goods and services to consider the use of indigenous businesses as part of your quotation requests or direct engagements under the quotation threshold. UNSW is committed to enhancing Indigenous peoples' involvement in the economy, ensuring the empowerment, strength and prosperity of Indigenous communities, now and in the future.
Supply Nation providers that are listed on the business register are not only Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander owned, but are regularly audited for changes in company structure.
When you engage with a Supply Nation provider, you can be confident that the business is at least 50% Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander owned
