Global Sisters exists to “Back Her Brilliance” and make business possible for all Australian women. We support women who are unemployed or under-employed to become financially independent through business.

We have worked with Aboriginal women across Australia since inception in 2016, and our impact to date is documented in the paper, First Nation Sisters on our Social Impact platform: https://impact.globalsisters.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/GS201104-First-Nation-Sisters-Paper.pdf
In this project, Global Sisters will build on that previous work, to develop an Aboriginal led strategy and implement a model designed with and specifically for Aboriginal Sisters. We will hire a national role, an Aboriginal “RCM” (our key Sister facing role) who will develop the strategy and adapt our model to meet the needs of Aboriginal Sisters in different contexts around Australia.
They will:
1.Identify the locations for Aboriginal women focused Hubs in existing and new locations
2.Support the establishment of Aboriginal focused Hubs, using our Global Sisters – In A Box model
3.Support Aboriginal Sisters to sell via the Global Sisters Marketplace
4.Develop a scale and export strategy for Aboriginal Sisters, and support in their capacity building to be scale and export ready, including brokering partnerships with businesses eg. https://impact.globalsisters.org/goanna-hut-t2-tea/
