Northern Territory Indigenous Business Network
The Northern Territory Indigenous Business Network (NTIBN) has been operating in the Northern Territory (NT) for over 10 years as a consortium and peak body representing NT Indigenous businesses. We are 100% Indigenous owned and are recognised as the peak and preferred certifying authority in the NT.
NTIBN is at the forefront of Aboriginal economic development, putting Aboriginal businesses in the driver’s seat of economic self-determination while unlocking the NT’s rich and grand Aboriginal estate.
We are a business growth and advocacy services provider that understands and acts with commercial principles. We are about Aboriginal business in the NT. We advocate hard for the recognition that Aboriginal business and the generation of Aboriginal wealth will be the game changer in Closing the Gap.
We provide our members with:
- Infrastructure and program business supports – through delivery of NT’s Indigenous Business and Employment Hub.
- Networks – through participation in key local and national events, introductions to relevant corporate and government stakeholders and key decision makers.
- Advocacy – promoting and supporting the growth and development of Aboriginal businesses and industry.
- Access to The Blak Business Directory – NTIBN’s sophisticated online digital platform designed to showcase our legitimate and authentic Blak businesses and Ally businesses.

Dean Rioli, Managing Director – Bunji Hire
The Northern Territory Indigenous Business Network has been a great asset for Bunji Hire as it has helped our business gain the exposure to the NT Industry where we have been able to develop positive working relationships with Key NT Businesses.

Tanyah Nasir, Founder – Tanyah Nasir Consulting Service
As an Aboriginal business we are specialists in Leadership Empowerment Training for our people. However, to build and grow we need other expertise such as grant writing.
NTIBN understands our core business and through our working relationship they understand our specific needs.
We were nominated to work with a company who specializes in grant writing.
Today, we are celebrating the fact that we applied, completed, and submitted. We do not know the outcome at this stage, but the learning and preparation writing completed is a resource that we can use in future applications. We could not have done this without the support of NTIBN.
Being in business is challenging and often isolated; NTIBN is a place where I can go for information, advice and at times, encouragement, and support.
