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.
The great team at NTIBN are also very proactive and I really feel our business is always on the radar for upcoming projects or opportunities.

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.
