There are a number of good examples but the one that stands out for me at the moment is the work of the Indigenous Land Corporation, the ILC. The ILC is an organisation that has gone into many areas and used some very innovative business practices, such as Ayers Rock and the Uluru resort. That resort previously had over 600 employees but there were fewer than 10 Indigenous workers employed. The ILC has purchased that resort, is working with the Indigenous community and is going to ensure that the Indigenous communities in that region get access to the facility for employment and for training. What the ILC is also doing is ensuring that Indigenous job seekers from around the country interested in hospitality and tourism will get an opportunity to train at the resort and go back to their own resorts and tourism sites in the other parts of the country.
