Kinaway Chamber of Commerce Victoria Ltd is the peak body for Victorian Aboriginal businesses - supporting, connecting, and advocating for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander enterprises across the state.

Aboriginal business ownership is one of the most direct pathways to economic self-determination - generating income, employment, and community wealth that strengthens Indigenous communities from within. Kinaway exists to make that pathway more accessible and to ensure Victorian Aboriginal businesses have the support, networks, and visibility they need to grow.

The rise of social procurement as a mainstream requirement across Victoria's construction, infrastructure, and government sectors has created significant new opportunities for Aboriginal businesses - and new responsibilities for organisations seeking to verify and track their Indigenous supply chain spend.

SocialPro partners with Kinaway to support the verification and tracking of Aboriginal business spend across major Victorian projects - ensuring that social procurement commitments translate into genuine economic outcomes for Aboriginal businesses and communities, not just compliance line items.
