ABDWA Setting Up for Success

The Aboriginal Business Directory WA (ABDWA) is one of two directories prescribed to validate Aboriginal ownership under the WA Government’s Aboriginal Procurement Policy. To ensure that only genuine Aboriginally owned businesses are supported by this policy, the ABDWA team is pleased to assist businesses to meet the required criteria.   

You are invited to attend this workshop to go through and support you to understand how to utilise the Gateway by ICN portal more effectively to maximise your opportunities to win work on projects.  

Pilbara Ports will discuss potential opportunities for Indigenous businesses, the process to get involved and expectations of their suppliers

Please note:-    

The workshop is only for Aboriginally owned businesses.  

There are limited places only and since we are running it bi-monthly this year, if you cannot attend, please let us know so that we can open your spot to others.  

What to bring: 

Whilst not necessary (as you can take notes if this is preferred), you can bring your laptop to enable you to work within your own company profile. This will be a hands-on workshop where you'll have the opportunity to run through practical exercises.
