We seek to:
- buy from Victorian Aboriginal businesses
- encourage suppliers to employ Victorian Aboriginal people.
2. Opportunities for Victorians with disability
We seek to:
- buy from Victorian social enterprises and Australian Disability Enterprises
- encourage suppliers to employ Victorians with disability.
3. Environmentally sustainable outputs
We seek to:
