Background
The launch of the NIMMA report on February 26, 2008 in Sydney by the Hon. Jenny Macklin MP (Minister for Families, Housing, Community Services & Indigenous Affairs) coincided with the inaugural meeting of the Indigenous Financial Services Network (IFSN) project.
This network comprises representatives from Indigenous organisations, government agencies, major financial institutions and their peak governing bodies, and over the course of 2008, will meet quarterly to track progress made on deliverables committed to under the NIMMA project, debate current issues & topical trends which are impacting the financial inclusion of Indigenous Australians and work collaboratively to achieve defined goals.
