First Australians Capital

First Australians Capital (FAC), is an Indigenous-led organisation that will provide capital and capacity building support for Indigenous businesses. First Australians Capital is raising funds to lend to these enterprises as patient repayable capital to bridge the equity requirements other lenders require.

FAC’s services to enterprises will comprise capacity building, access to networks and development finance, with dedicated relationship management to build economic self-sufficiency within Indigenous communities and help drive a new economy in Australia. FAC aims to alleviate the poverty and disadvantage in life outcomes experienced by Indigenous Australians by building on the strengths and assets of Australia’s first peoples in the following ways:

Strengthening First Australians cultural capital: strengthening individual’s identity and self-esteem; rebuilding social and cultural values.

Enhancing First Australians creative capital: stimulate creativity and innovation, building resilient and empowered communities.

Harnessing First Australians economic capital: create jobs, accelerate entrepreneurialism, establish enterprises and drive prosperity.
