Welcome to the
First Nations Economic Empowerment Alliance

The First Nations Economic Empowerment Alliance (Alliance) is an association of First Nations-led organisations and experts committed to advancing First Nations economic rights and interests in Australia.

The Alliance was established in response to the Murru waaruu Seminar Series facilitated by the Australian National University First Nations Portfolio throughout 2023. That process highlighted historical failures, ongoing barriers, and key opportunities for Indigenous Australians to more equitably contribute to and share in the benefits of a stronger, more sustainable Australian economy.  It called for a comprehensive Indigenous economic policy framework to support First Nations as genuine partners in the Australian economy.
