The Queensland Reconciliation Awards 2023 recognise and celebrate inspiring initiatives for dedication and unwavering commitment to reconciliation in Queensland.
Two initiatives of the Deadly Innovation team were High Commended at the Awards and were recognised as going above and beyond their core business, to foster reconciliation to pave the way for a better future.
Iscariot Media Pty Ltd for One Business was Highly Commended in the Business category. One Business is an initiative of the Queensland Government to support leading Indigenous businesses to teach and train other Indigenous businesses across Queensland.
Since its launch in 2020, the One Business Program has supported more than 250 First Nation businesses, creating more pathways for increased participation in Queensland’s economy.
The Cherbourg Digital Service Centre initiative was Highly Commended in the Partnership category. In Wakka Wakka Country in the Aboriginal community of Cherbourg, the Cherbourg Aboriginal Shire Council, in partnership with Fujitsu Australia and New Zealand the Queensland Department of Innovation, Tourism and Sport, TAFE Queensland, and the Cherbourg community developed, and opened a First Nations Service Centre to support the community’s digital transformation.
This partnership has created a local, sustainable industry that contributes to the economy of the community and to long-term reconciliation by bridging the significant digital divide. It has created local digital jobs, career pathways and long-term career opportunities.
