GABC Member Certification
The GABC member certification provides government, industry and the local community the assurance that businesses displaying the GABC logos have been recognised and assessed as genuine WA Aboriginal businesses.
The GABC recognises Aboriginal businesses as 51% or greater owned and operated by an Aboriginal person. The GABC also acknowledges the importance of Aboriginal businesses that are owned, controlled and operated by Traditional Owners, and the contribution Aboriginal businesses make to the local community.
GABC undertakes a robust, respectful and consistent process for certifying an Aboriginal business that supports the integrity of the sector and provides genuine opportunities for Aboriginal business owners and communities. Buyers can engage a certified GABC Aboriginal business with the confidence knowing they are an approved and authentic Aboriginal business.
