The Federal Government’s $70 million commitment to First Nations clean energy projects

The Federal Government’s $70 million commitment to First Nations clean energy projects, announced by Prime Minister Albanese at Garma, is about more than infrastructure — it’s about people. It’s about creating real opportunities for First Nations communities to lead projects on Country, grow skills, and build lasting careers in clean energy and its supply chain. Through the MGA Group — including the Australian Renewables Academy, Workforce Plus, Ashmere and MGA Consulting — we’ve seen how education, training, and innovative programs like CarePlays VR can help people step confidently into new industries. We welcome this investment and strongly support First Nations leadership in shaping their own energy future, ensuring the transition creates skills, careers and community benefits that last for generations. Clean energy must work for everyone, and this funding is a meaningful step in making that real. We’d love to hear how your community, organisation or project is preparing for the energy transition — let’s share ideas and work together to make these opportunities count.
