A new study from The Australian National University (ANU) has found that Indigenous-owned businesses in Australia employ Indigenous staff at a rate 12 times higher than non-Indigenous-owned businesses.

According to lead researcher Dr Christian Eva, the findings demonstrate that non-Indigenous-owned businesses must do more to better integrate Indigenous knowledge and cultural practices into the workplace and boost the number of Indigenous staff.

The findings highlight the need for businesses to create pathways for indigenous recruitment and progression into senior management roles and to ensure that there are equitable opportunities for all employees.
