A proudly Aboriginal business

Karnaji is Indigenous owned & managed

Karnaji delivers dependable, high‑quality industrial and electrical supply through a robust national network, providing technically accurate, on‑spec materials with consistently reliable delivery. We support major projects while upholding our cultural values and contributing to greater economic and social parity for Indigenous communities across Australia, fostering long-term benefits for industry and community alike.

We like being a company of few words, because actions speak louder. But here are some words we think do matter:

Self-determination

Diversity & inclusion

Economic parity

Self-determination for Indigenous people is a movement gaining momentum. In Indigenous communities it offers a game-changing proposition for us to ‘close the gap’, through our commitment to building an Indigenous economy. This benefits all Australia and thus, must be a whole of industry and community approach.

As an Aboriginal business Karnaji aims to develop and offer innovative ways to approach diversity & inclusion. If we can create pathways to participation at all levels, then economic parity can follow.
