The NSW Government has affirmed its commitment to boost social enterprises by signing an agreement with Social Traders to buy goods and services from certified social enterprises. NSW Government spending with social enterprises was $34 million in 2021-22.

“Social Traders are excited to start our fourth year of partnership with NSW Government. Thanks to their forward-thinking approach, together we’re creating the opportunity for hundreds of government buyers to unlock impact with their everyday spending.

“As Australia’s largest state government, there is a huge opportunity to scale this work and enable more certified social enterprises to increase their impact for the most disadvantaged in our communities.” -Tara Anderson, CEO, Social Traders.
