ABDWA Setting up for Success Workshop

ABDWA (Aboriginal Business Directory WA) is a directory managed by ICNWA (Industry Capability Network Western Australia) which lists Aboriginally-owned businesses that operate in WA. The ABDWA is referenced and endorsed by the Department of Finance in their Aboriginal Procurement Policies. ICNWA is collaborating with the Wirra Hub to run workshops to help suppliers in the directory to use the system more effectively to win work.
