Indigenous Enterprise Partnerships in Cape York

Indigenous Enterprise Partnerships aim to facilitate the creation of a real economy in Cape York.

Westpac is involved at the board level as well as on the ground, with an extensive skills transfer program. We currently have one full-time project manager, three twelve-month fellowships and around 50 employees seconded to the Cape for one month each year.

They are working with the local indigenous communities in Cape York on two initiatives designed to build financial independence:

1. Family Income Management - helping individuals, households and extended families develop budgets to help establish savings for short and long-term goals.

2. Business Hubs - developing business plans and training existing or aspiring indigenous entrepreneurs.
