Empowering Outback Artists

The Indigenous Artists Hub Mount Isa program is an initiative developed and delivered by Complete Business Solutions (Australia) in partnership with Outback at Isa and the Mount Isa City Council. Proudly funded by the National Indigenous Australians Agency (NIAA) through the First Nations Tourism Mentoring Program (FNTMP) this national initiative is dedicated to supporting and showcasing the talents of Indigenous businesses across the arts, culture and tourism industries.

Operated under a social enterprise model, the program works with each Artist individually to build their skills, capability and capacity from hobby Artist to micro business owners. Through tailored mentoring and business support, the team at Complete Business Solutions have built confidence and motivation within the Artists, empowering them to grow sustainable creative enterprises and connect with broader markets.
