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

- 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 SERVICES CLIENTS
From Country, back to Country
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:
"Every dollar spent with Yarning Crescent flows back into Aboriginal communities. Does your services provider 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.

1 + 1 = 3.
That's the Yarning Crescent difference.
When mainstream organisations and Aboriginal communities come together through a trusted cultural broker, the outcome is greater than the sum of its parts. We are that broker — and we have the relationships to prove it.

Mainstream Organisations
Industries & Referral Pathways
You bring the intent. We bring the trust.
Many organisations want to engage meaningfully with Aboriginal communities but don't know how to start. We bring the relationships, cultural authority and community trust that takes years to build.
We connect what can't connect itself.
Through our CAPO GWS Ngaliya membership and community networks, we open doors to ACCOs, ACCHOs and community leaders that mainstream organisations simply cannot access alone.
The result is greater than the sum.
When the right organisations work together through a trusted cultural broker, the outcomes — for communities, for organisations, for Country — are exponentially more powerful than either could achieve alone.
