    SUPPLY NATION CERTIFICATION

    • Certification is the qualification process administered by Supply Nation, which Indigenous businesses undertake to verify that their business meets Supply Nation’s definition of an Indigenous business.

    • Supply Nation defines an Indigenous business as a business:

    • a) that consists of at least 51 per cent ownership by Indigenous Australians;

    • b) in which the principal executive officer is an Indigenous Australian; and

    • c) the key decisions in the business are made by Indigenous Australians.

    • Use of the Certified Logo verifies the business ownership, management and control arrangements. It does not warrant the quality or viability of the business or Indigenous provenance of the goods and/or services offered by the Indigenous business.

    NNTC Appoints new Chief Executive

    The Chair of The National Native Title Council (NNTC), Ms Francine McCarthy, welcomed Jamie Lowe to the position of Chief Executive Officer.

     

    “Jamie is a Djabwurrung man and a former CEO of the Eastern Maar Aboriginal Corporation in the South West region of Victoria,” said Ms McCarthy.

     

    “Jamie has worked in the native title sector for a number of years and has significant experience in the native title sector. He is also a director of the Federation of Victorian Traditional Owner Corporations and advocates for the rights of traditional owners within the State of Victoria.

     

    “Jamie was also the previous Chair of the NNTC having been elected to the position when he first joined the NNTC Board”.

     

    “The NNTC is the national peak body for native title representative bodies, service providers and Prescribed Bodies Corporate (PBCs), and Jamie will bring a fresh perspective and energy to the role of CEO,” said Ms McCarthy.

     

    The NNTC has recently opened up its membership to PBCs and Traditional Owner Corporations and having Jamie leading the organisation will help shape the NNTC and the native title sector through a period of significant growth and transition of empowerment to Traditional Owners across the country.

     

    “The NNTC executive as well as the broader Council membership is excited to welcome Jamie to the position and looks forward to a future of exciting opportunities for the native title sector.”
