The Australian government’s roadmap includes commitments to strengthening social enterprise in Australia.

Social Traders are providing free certification and recognition membership for SECNA members who are certifying for the first time!

In August this year, a collaboration about work integration social enterprises (WISEs) formally kicked off. It's called the WISE Hub. Its purpose is to strengthen the enabling environment for the WISE sector so that it can grow and unlock greater economic inclusion.

Jo Barraket, Cindy Mitchell, Luke Terry, Sally McGeoch, Cindy Carpenter and Jess Moore - all working toward this purpose already - came together to form the WISE Hub Committee. SECNA is providing backbone support.
