The IMG team specialises in developing and growing sustainable Aboriginal businesses.
We offer personal, ongoing support to new and existing Aboriginal businesses with contract acquisition, strategy development, goal setting and tracking.
We also facilitate opportunities for Aboriginal businesses by assisting governments, corporations and NGOs who want to engage them by providing participation strategies and business management services to connect with the community.
Our focus is on creating Aboriginal businesses today that will support our communities of tomorrow.
We ‘teach’. We don’t ‘tell’.
Businesses we work with become sustainable. Everything they learn on their journey flows into community and benefits future generations.
Our Mission, Vision & Approach
Our mission is to elevate the Aboriginal business sector, creating financial independence and wealth for people and communities. To do this, we empower Aboriginal businesses, working closely to teach business skills and facilitate First Nations participation in all industries—including where we have traditionally been excluded.
Our vision is for successful and resilient Aboriginal businesses with leaders who continuously push the boundaries of performance.
Our approach is to learn our clients’ challenges and aspirations and work with them to identify and maximise local business opportunities.

How we work
We are advocates and advisors led by the communities we service. It’s our job and passion to walk with our clients through their individual business journey, together building the foundations of a sustainable economic future.
We employ culturally responsive and passionate people who strive for change in Aboriginal business, to drive the improvement of outcomes for Aboriginal participation in government and industry. We aspire for a world where Traditional Owners profit from the economic advantages of Country, where Aboriginal people have equal opportunity to reach their potential as leaders in the Australian economy.
Our core values underpin everything we do
Performance
We strive to always work to the best of our abilities, to achieve performance that speaks for itself. We are outcomes focused and help make things happen.
Integrity
We stay true to our values and carry ourselves with integrity. We value honest and open dialogue with our clients who uphold the same beliefs as ourselves.
Trust
We understand that the best work is done through trusting relationships and endeavour to let our work allow us to have your trust.
Community
We understand the importance of family and community and their role in business. We look for opportunities to give back and develop relationships with the communities where we operate.
Simplicity
We value not making business more complex than it needs to be, providing
the tools and structures to make effective strategic decisions promptly.
