NSW Government is supporting the growth of the First Nations business sector. Registrations are essential and open to all interested people and organisations.

These events support the growth of the First Nations business sector by bringing stakeholders together to make connections and share information.

Gather and Grow events are hosted across NSW by:

  • NSW Treasury
  • Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development
  • Department of Customer Service
  • Transport for NSW.

We've invited representatives from major projects to come and present about the opportunities for Aboriginal businesses and First Nations job seekers. We’ll also be inviting Aboriginal businesses, Tier one businesses, Government buyers and support services.

Gather and Grow events are fee free and provide:

  • an opportunity to network
  • learn about agencies’ upcoming procurement opportunities
  • learn about pipelines of work
  • find out about employment opportunities.

Come along to connect with Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal businesses, government buyers, interested job seekers and business support services.
