Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander owned businesses are being showcased throughout the state this month in events and activities as part of Indigenous Business Month which has been officially launched in Cairns at a meeting of Federal, State and Territory Ministers.
Indigenous Business Month, launched at the national Small Business Minister's meeting in Cairns, will feature events across the state including a Business Yarnz event in Palm Island, an Indigenous Business Expo and Forum in Toowoomba, and a Parliamentary Reception at Parliament House in Brisbane.
Now in its ninth year, Indigenous Business Month is a nationwide event held throughout October.
