Indigenous Business Month

Indigenous Business Month (IBM) is held each October, where we celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses across Queensland. This year's national theme is Making our Mark.

Get involved by helping us raise awareness through your business or the local community, participating in an Indigenous Business Month event, or hosting you own event.
