How we work together
The Hub is represented as the inner circle. The mid circle represents the national collaboration between us and the other Australian Hubs, FACCI and Supply Nation. The outer circle representing community and key stakeholders.

Our Hub and Spoke model story
The main Hub sits in the centre (located in Darwin) with outreach to the other five Territory regions – represented by five circles, Palmerston and Tiwi Islands, Big Rivers, Arnhem, Central Australia, and the Barkley. The biggest circle on the outer represents Central Australia as the anchor hub. The five lines reaching out to the regional hubs represent the five service streams. Everyone is supported through the network which is represented by three lines connecting each circle. The dots represent our members/clients.

Our Service Streams Story
Each song line represents a Hub service stream – Incubation and Start-up, Scale up, growth and sophistication, Employment services, Business Development and Women’s Business and Youth Enterprise. *Across all these streams is training and development
