Nyaarla Projects was presented with an Australian Business Award in the Community Contribution category at the 2010 Awards. Nyaarla Projects was one of 105 Australian Business Award recipients which received a total of 1849 separate entries from 962 organisations. The Australian Business Awards are a national program honouring organisations that demonstrate the core values of business excellence, product excellence, sustainability and commercial success in their respective industries through an established series of business and product award categories.

The Australian Business Award for Community Contribution recognises organisations which implement policies or projects that positively impact on the community and generate outcomes that have a long term benefit.

Commenting on their win, Alan Beattie, Chief Executive Officer of Nyaarla Projects says “This award reinforces our commitment to improving the quality of life of Indigenous Australians, in particular the number of young Indigenous people participating in quality education and training.   This award will enable us to grow the programs we provide so that many more Indigenous people have the opportunity to change their lives”.

Nyaarla Projects Pty Ltd specialises in the provision of:

Training and Employment, Youth Services and Education, Public Participation/Community Consultation and general consulting including reviews, business facilitation, feasibility studies and planning.

Nyaarla Projects is a 100% owned Indigenous business that commenced operation in September 2003. In 2008 Nyaarla Projects was awarded the Western Australian Indigenous Business Year of the Award. In 2006 Madonna Beattie the Owner /Managing Director was a finalist in the Telstra Women’s Business Awards and in 2010 Madonna was a finalist in the inaugural WA Youth Worker of the Year Award. Amongst other achievements Madonna was Australia’s first Indigenous commercial pilot. Commenting on receiving the award, Madonna says “Our biggest barrier to expanding the highly successful programs we run is the availability of suitable training and accommodation related facilities, we hope that through this award we are able to highlight this issue and come up with a facility that meets our long-term requirements”.

Nyaarla Projects either directly itself or via its sister organisation, a not-for-profit organisation (MADALAH Limited – Making A Difference And Looking AHead) which Alan and Madonna Beattie established in 2009 is supporting over 300 Indigenous youth via different education/training initiatives in 2010.

Tara Johnston, Program Director of the Australian Business Awards, commended the achievements of all Winners saying: “The standard of entries for 2010 has underpinned the strength of the Australian economy and provides a welcome opportunity for organisations committed to business and product excellence to receive the recognition they deserve. Congratulations to all the Winners for achieving exceptional results in their respective categories. In addition to highlighting the outstanding achievements of the winning organisations in the private and public sector, we are pleased that these Awards continue to promote key values in the workplace, including corporate responsibility, enterprise, innovative business practices, community contribution, product and service excellence across all industries.”
