History and experience

...let’s take it from the top.

In 2017 Ethan and the David Liddiard Group partnered to create Ethan Indigenous — Australia’s first Indigenous-led IT provider, and became Supply Nation certified.

Ethan Indigenous launched the Laptops for Indigenous Program.

We launched our Cadet program, but we didn’t stop there. Each year, instead of settling on our achievements, we were always looking to do more.

We gave 1,000 laptops to indigenous students, secured panel participation with the NSW government, launched the 1st Indigenous cloud in Townsville, and were appointed to all LGP contracts nationally.

Each year our numbers increase, and our reach gets wider. Last year, we donated twice the amount of laptops we did before, and launched our cadet program in multi states across Australia. But we’re not here to brag, we’re here to give back, and our targets are always evolving.

In 2025, we took on indigenous gender inequality, appointing the first female Indigenous chairman in the ICT industry. We went to bat for women’s rights in partnership with the Lyrebird Foundation, putting the spotlight on women in sport, and most recently, we launched an Indigenous University Scholarship Program.

At the end of the day, we’re numbers people and with 40,000 hours of Indigenous employment achieved in ICT this year — the initiative speaks for itself.

We don't mean to boast (okay, we do), but we've accrued many wonderful awards over the years which have underpinned our milestones.
