The Australian Employment Covenant (AEC) is a national industry-led initiative which brings all Australians together to help close the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians in employment and employment opportunities.

The AEC's aim is the placement and long-term retention of 50,000 Indigenous people into 'Covenant Jobs' within a two-year period.

The Australian Government is supportive of the AEC initiative in line with its commitment to halving the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous employment outcomes over a decade.

Central Art supplied each attendee at the launch of this program with a licensed print of Bush Fruits by Delores Furber Napaltjarri. We worked closely with the Aboriginal Artists Agency to organise the copyright.

Delores was overwhelmed at the support and the event was a huge success.
