First Australians Business

First Australians Business (FAB) is a national mentoring program and enterprise-training agency for young Indigenous entrepreneurs. The Body Shop developed the program in 1994 in conjunction with the Federal Government and the former Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC) to give Aboriginal communities practical advice and support in developing and maintaining business. FAB is a national service that is without cost to Indigenous people under 30.

"The Body Shop supports the organisation through financial assistance, office space and strategic advice. The Body Shop is also represented on FAB’s Board of Directors."
