Written by FM Editor Varun Godinho, the feature explores how Murrungar is creating new pathways for Aboriginal participation in the building services sector through procurement, workforce development and long-term economic opportunity.

In the article, Varun spoke with Murrungar Co-Founder Aaron Clark to discuss his journey from growing up in the Framlingham Aboriginal community in south-west Victoria to helping shape reconciliation initiatives and Indigenous engagement programs across some of Australia’s leading organisations.

The feature highlights Murrungar’s purpose as a Capability Partnership focused on creating meaningful opportunities for Aboriginal people and businesses across the supply chain. Meaning “Build, Grow and Nurture”, Murrungar seeks to connect commercial, government and infrastructure projects with Indigenous suppliers, employment pathways and community outcomes.

The feature also explores Murrungar’s commitment to increasing Indigenous participation in technical careers, supporting Indigenous-owned businesses and helping clients better understand the impact their projects can have on Country, community and long-term economic participation.

Murrungar has set a target of sourcing 20 per cent of its supply chain from Indigenous suppliers within its first three years while also creating pathways for Indigenous technical professionals in the building services sector.
