- Digital Innovation
- One To Watch (New Idea)
- and Indigenous Business Excellence
The Awards recognize women in business, achieving great success in areas such as product development, customer service and digital innovation.
“I am a proud Aboriginal woman of Kamilaroi descent – I am a serial Indigipreneur. I have inspired and mentored many Indigenous and non-Indigenous women, during my time as a business owner.
Culture and heritage are very important to me, and I’m constantly working to elevate my First Nations community and encourage growth and expansion within the Australian economy. I am an educator and I have trained over 150 employees during my career.” Says Julie when set up the AFN Awards,
“I recently crossed over to work in the Consultancy sector where my business and life experience has been in demand through high level Indigenous organisations, such as IBA and Supply Nation. I am the first Canberra-based, Supply Nation Indigenous Business women of the Year Award recipient, and I have many other accolades awarded to me, both Internationally and Nationally.”
Now it is time to celebrate our First Nations community with the All First Nations Awards 2024 – and we need your help to make them happen.
