Indigenous businesses, corporates and government leaders have come together to mark a major milestone for Queensland’s Indigenous business sector with the launch of the Indigenous Business Gateway (IBG). Developed and governed by the Queensland Indigenous Business Network (QIBN), the IBG is the first platform of its kind to present real-time, verified capability data for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses. Featuring more than 2,000 sustainability, capability and performance credentials — alongside sector-endorsed QIBN Member Badges — the IBG is set to transform how Indigenous suppliers are seen, understood and engaged across the state.
Queensland’s new Procurement Policy 2026 introduces stronger pathways for agencies to engage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses, including a clear 3% Indigenous spend target. QIBN welcomes the policy and highlights the Indigenous Business Gateway (IBG) as a practical tool to help buyers quickly find and verify Indigenous suppliers.

These businesses represent the strength, diversity, and innovation of Queensland’s Indigenous business community and mark the beginning of an exciting new chapter for QIBN.

Almost a third of Australia’s Indigenous businesses operate in Queensland yet, many still face barriers to visibility, opportunity, and representation. The Queensland Indigenous Business Network (QIBN) was created to change that.
Founded by experienced Indigenous business owners, QIBN strengthens and supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander-owned, -managed and -controlled businesses through advocacy, visibility, and connection. Members gain verified credibility, access to resources and events, and a voice in the spaces where decisions are made.
At its core, QIBN is more than a network. It is a movement for economic prosperity and self-determination.
