Aboriginal Engagement
Natures Touch is a proud Aboriginal Owned & Operated business and has been a long-standing member of the NSW Indigenous Chamber of Commerce. There are several policies applicable to procurement from and the development of Aboriginal businesses in NSW, some of which shown below.
NSW Aboriginal Procurement Policy (APP)
The Aboriginal Procurement Policy (APP) will aim for Aboriginal-owned businesses to be awarded at least three percent of the total number of domestic contracts for goods and services issued by NSW Government agencies by 2021.
In conjunction with the existing Aboriginal Participation in Construction (APIC) policy, the APP will aim to support an estimated 3,000 full-time equivalent employment opportunities for Aboriginal people through NSW Government procurement activities by 2021.
The APP supports the NSW Government Plan for Aboriginal Affairs, OCHRE, and is a key deliverable under the Aboriginal Economic Development Framework.

NSW Aboriginal Procurement In Construction Policy (APIC)
APIC supports greater participation by Aboriginal people on NSW Government Construction Projects. APIC sets minimum targets from 1.5% of eligible project spend. Under APIC Contractors have scope to determine how to meet this target, through direct spend on the project (such as employment, procurement from Aboriginal businesses etc.) or on services and support from Aboriginal Organisations and Service Providers approved by the NSW Government Procurement Board, for example the NSW Indigenous Chamber of Commerce.

Federal Indigenous Procurement Policy (IPP)
The IPP is a mandatory procurement-connected policy under the legislative instrument of the Commonwealth Procurement Rules.
The purpose of the Indigenous Procurement Policy (IPP) is to leverage the Commonwealth’s annual multi-billion procurement spend to drive demand for Indigenous goods and services, stimulate Indigenous economic development and grow the Indigenous business sector.
The IPP was launched on 1 July 2015 and has three main parts:
- A target number of contracts that need to be awarded to Indigenous businesses.
- A mandatory set-aside for remote contracts and contracts valued between $80,000 – $200,000.
- Minimum Indigenous participation requirements in contracts valued at or above $7.5m in certain industries.
