Yuma Yirramboi Strategy (Invest in Tomorrow)

Aboriginal culture, knowledge, and practice is vital for a thriving Aboriginal economy.

We will preserve and celebrate Aboriginal knowledge, cultural beliefs, and practices. We recognise their important contribution to the wellbeing of Aboriginal people.

Yuma Yirramboi will nurture a strong and ready talent pool of Aboriginal Victorians.

We will support all Aboriginal Victorians throughout their careers. We recognise their different skills, interests, and aspirations.

The Aboriginal business sector is the backbone of a strong Aboriginal economy. It creates jobs and careers, generates wealth, and contributes to the Australian economy.

The Victorian Aboriginal business sector is maturing. There is room for growth in size, scale, and diversity.

Yuma Yirramboi supports Aboriginal business growth and economic development. It takes a coordinated, consistent, and long-term approach.

We will support the sector to grow. We will do this through thriving markets and procurement targets. Working with strong Aboriginal communities, entrepreneurs, and Traditional Owners.

To create wealth, Aboriginal Victorians need greater access to land and water. Wealth is also created through Aboriginal culture, knowledge and practice.

Traditional Owners need more assets and resources to achieve greater economic success.

Yuma Yirramboi will grow Aboriginal ownership and create opportunities to generate wealth.

We will support strong and influential Traditional Owners. They will have the freedom to make economic and social development decisions.

Aboriginal Victorians should have the same opportunities to find and keep a job.

Yuma Yirramboi will promote direct employment with the Victorian Government, private and community sectors. We will achieve this through policy, targets, and incentives. We will generate jobs and support careers so Aboriginal Victorians reach employment parity.

We will track the progress of our commitments with regular and transparent reporting.
