Help stamp out Black Cladding – get informed with a First Nations-led masterclass

Across Australia, organisations are embracing Indigenous Procurement Policies as part of their Reconciliation Action Plans. Many are committing to award a percentage of contracts to Aboriginal businesses to help close the gap.

Sounds great, right?

In theory, YES.

In practice, not so much.

Some operators fake or exaggerate Aboriginal involvement in their business which is diverting millions of dollars away from genuine First Nations people, businesses and communities.

It’s called Black Cladding.
It’s dodgy as hell and it needs to stop.

At Jindawayni Consulting, we’re taking a stand.

We want every business, agency and government department to not just recognise this issue but to be part of the solution.

Introducing BaM💥: Battle Against Blak Cladding, a First Nations-led masterclass designed to educate and equip decision-makers to identify, prevent and respond to Black Cladding in procurement and partnership processes.
