Jawun is one of IAG's Reconciliation Action Plan Partners and works in partnership with the corporate sector and Indigenous community organisations. The aim is for secondees to deliver on a project or initiative identified by the Indigenous organisation as being of benefit to their business and community. I was lucky enough to be selected to spend six weeks in Victoria’s Goulburn-Murray region supporting the Rumbalara Aboriginal Cooperative to establish and launch two independent business units with the long term aim of developing self-generated income streams.
