Who we are

First Australians Capital (FAC) is a national, First Nations-led organisation that supports First Nations entrepreneurs to grow, thrive and lead a strong, self-determined economy. FAC provides business growth support and patient finance, working alongside entrepreneurs, investors and partners to strengthen a fair, culturally grounded economy shaped by community and long-term impact.

Through practical support, trusted connections and partnerships grounded in the principles of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), FAC works to address long-standing inequities in Australia’s finance system while respecting identity, agency and self-determination.

What we do

For Business

Business Relationship Managers: Business Relationship Managers provide support and access to the right capital solution for business owners. The Advisors are your first point of contact to FAC. Business Engagement Plans are one way that FAC partners with business owners to assist their success.

Investment Specialists: If finance is right for your business, you may be introduced to FAC’s Investment team, whose analysts will help determine the right capital solution and products options to support your business needs.

Partnerships and Hubs: In selecting our partners, we’ve looked for organisations whose approach is to stand with First Nations entrepreneurs, working to dismantle the systemic barriers often preventing them from accessing the support they need to thrive.
