A new taskforce will has been formed to help Aboriginal business grow under state's the Closing the Gap targets.

The Aboriginal Business Taskforce will have eight members, including business CEO and ex-Sydney Swans player Adam Goodes and Gunnedah business owner Sharon Winsor.

The government says the taskforce will ensure authorities hear Aboriginal business owners.

However, Brewarrina's Urayne Warraweena, who is working to set up an Aboriginal tourism business, said she is wary of the advisory body.

"It's advice going up. I want advice down," she said.

"We're always consulting with the government. We're always giving government advice and strategies. But how does that help me on the ground?

"When will we see the outcomes of this taskforce?"

The Indigenous-majority taskforce includes Doug Delaney, Luke McIlroy-Ranga, Malinda Rutter, Melissa Fletcher, Phillip Usher, Sharon Winsor, Terri-Anne Daniel and Adam Goodes. IMAGE: supplied.

Research from the Federal Department of Industry, Science and Resources shows that for every $1 of revenue, certified Indigenous businesses create $4.41 of economic and social value.

Aboriginal-owned businesses are also more likely to employ Aboriginal people than their non-Aboriginal counterparts, according to the 2023 NSW Treasury First Nations Women’s Economic Participation Review.

The NSW government has committed to increasing the proportion of Indigenous people aged 25-64 in employment to 62 per cent by 2031, a Closing the Gap target.

The proportion sat at 59.6 per cent in 2021.

"Being part of this taskforce is a real opportunity to ensure that Aboriginal business owners, like myself, have a direct line to government decision-makers. We bring lived experience of the real challenges, and because we are entrepreneurs, we bring bold solutions to the table," Taskforce member Terri-Anne Daniel said.

“Through discussions it was clear the Aboriginal business sector wanted a strategy-focused group that can provide advice to government," said David Harris, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Treaty.

“The taskforce is another step in NSW’s determination to lead the nation in pursuing economic prosperity as a key goal to close the gap for Aboriginal people.”

Ms Warraweena is creating a business plan before she looks at what government support is available.

The former Local Aboriginal Lands Council member said there are ideas and passion to start businesses in the local Aboriginal community.

However, she said a lack of knowledge can get in the way.

"We come from a very small community. Not all of us are qualified in anything," Ms Warraweena said.

"I don't feel like that's a big gap. It's a little support.

"We're so far gapped from Sydney. I hope that with this taskforce - if they do offer support - that they've got smaller regional places where I can actually talk to someone."
