welcome to
the circle
First Nations Entrepreneur Hub
The Circle acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the traditional custodians of our land. We recognise the Kaurna people as the traditional custodians of this place we now call Adelaide. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and future and to the cultural authority of First Nations Peoples from other areas of this country. “Always Was, Always Will Be.”
About the circle
The Circle – First Nations Entrepreneur Hub has been established in partnership with the Australian Government and the South Australian Government, under the Adelaide City Deal.
We are here to assist the South Australian Aboriginal Business Sector with support to build your business through increased connections, capacity, capability and confidence. The Circle team will work with you one-on-one, providing tailored business support, solutions and referrals to a range of experts and opportunities to meet your business needs.
Our Business Development Support commenced in January 2021 and The Circle – First Nations Entrepreneur Hub was officially launched on 27 August 2021.
We look forward to welcoming you to The Circle!
