Indigichems
About Us
Indigichems is a division of City Indigenous Group.
City Indigenous Group is an Aboriginal owned company committed to investing in a sustainable future for Australia’s First Peoples. We are established to ensure that every Australian has an equal opportunity to achieve and succeed.
As part of today’s rapidly evolving Indigenous business sector, City Indigenous Group is passionate about leading reconciliation initiatives that promote indigenous employment, ensuring staff receive the best possible training and mentorship to excel in their roles.
City Indigenous Group was formed by David Fernando, a descendant of the Gamilaroi tribe of Northern New South Wales and Mike Bell, a descendant of the Birpai tribe of the Camden Haven region of New South Wales. Our company is strongly orientated to contribute to the reconciliation movement, driving indigenous engagement opportunities and promoting supplier diversity values.
Our shared vision centres on becoming one of the largest Indigenous employers in the facilities sector, offering an improved quality of life for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across the country. In addition to direct employment opportunities, we are also proud to have partnered with several related Indigenous supply businesses, to maximise benefit to the wider community. In our own way we hope our resolute commitment and the wider contributions of our company will represent positive momentum in helping to heal the divisions that exist within our society.
