We have been working hard to increase and expand our procurement from Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations, as part of our commitment to provide services for Aboriginal children and young people that are culturally safe and responsive.

We are proud that our efforts in this space, supported by a dedicated Aboriginal Procurement Policy, have been recognised in the 2020 Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply Australasia Awards. We have been shortlisted in the ‘Supplier Diversity’ category of the awards, as the only South Australian nominee and the only public sector nominee from Australia. Award winners will be announced on Wednesday 29 July 2020.
