Shooting Stars is proud to announce its latest partnership with IBN Group, the first Aboriginal Corporation to join as a corporate partner. IBN Group operates in the Pilbara and delivers programs and services that improve the lives of their members, the Yinhawangka, Banyjima and Nyiyaparli people.
IBN Group’s partnership will further support the Tom Price and Hedland sites, providing crucial transport and employment opportunities to allow these sites to expand their operations. The support also aligns with IBN Group’s goal of providing opportunities to their members within these regions.
