Yarning Bridge
BETAby Yarning Crescent
Australia's national directory of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander services.
One place to find culturally safe support for mob — crisis lines, health, legal, NDIS, housing, family, and community services. Built with community, for community.
Built by Country.
Powered by Purpose.
Yarning Crescent is a Supply Nation registered Indigenous business. Every dollar spent with us is a direct investment in First Nations economic participation.
For Procurement Teams
Advance your RAP goals
Choosing Yarning Crescent means your organisation is actively contributing to your Reconciliation Action Plan. Procurement from Supply Nation registered businesses is a recognised, measurable RAP activity.
- Counts as a verified RAP procurement activity
- Supports First Nations economic self-determination
- Reportable to Supply Nation and RAP frameworks
- Demonstrates authentic reconciliation commitment
- Strengthens your ESG and social procurement credentials
"Procurement from Indigenous businesses is one of the most direct ways organisations can contribute to closing the economic gap."
FOR GOVERNMENT & COMMUNITY PARTNERS
Ask the right question
When you contract services or software, you have the power to drive meaningful change. Ask your provider: "Are you using a Supply Nation registered business?" — it's a simple question that creates a ripple effect of Indigenous economic participation throughout your supply chain.
Ask your provider:
"Does your Aboriginal service directory platform come from a Supply Nation registered business? If not — why not?"
- Strengthens your own RAP commitments through supply chain
- Drives Indigenous procurement without changing your vendor
- Supports the broader First Nations business ecosystem
- Aligns with government and corporate ESG expectations
Every purchase advances reconciliation
By choosing Yarning Crescent, your organisation takes a concrete, reportable step toward your Reconciliation Action Plan targets. This isn't a donation — it's smart procurement that delivers world-class services and drives First Nations economic participation simultaneously.
Finding services shouldn't be hard for mob.
Too often, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are sent to mainstream services that don't understand their culture, their history, or their needs. Yarning Bridge changes that.
We've built a directory that puts mob-led, culturally safe services front and centre — so when someone needs help, they can find the right support quickly, without having to explain who they are.
