Lead with purpose. Build powerful connections. Drive impact across Indigenous business communities.

The Business

Impact North is an Aboriginal-controlled not-for-profit organization ​that works at the intersection of social enterprise and remote Indigenous business, driving positive change across Australia’s northern regions. Many Indigenous businesses in Northern Australia naturally function as social enterprises, creating impact through job creation and economic development in their communities. Through structured business programs, connected communities and coworking spaces, we empower entrepreneurs to turn their vision into reality. ​​ ​

To achieve our vision, we offer two key initiatives: the Business Builder Program, providing structured guidance and mentoring for entrepreneurs, and the Impact North Community, which creates spaces for connection, collaboration, and growth. Through these programs, we support entrepreneurs in transforming their visions into reality, driving positive change across Northern Australia's communities.
