Jamee Carey Launches Gijaru Workgear to Empower Indigenous Workforce

Jamee Carey, an inspiring Aboriginal entrepreneur from the Kija/Jaru language group, has announced the launch of Gijaru Workgear, an Indigenous-owned company that merges high-quality work kits with a profound connection to Indigenous culture. His remarkable journey from Halls Creek in the remote Kimberley region to founding an innovative business exemplifies resilience, determination, and cultural pride.

Growing up in Halls Creek, Jamee Carey faced significant obstacles. The isolation of the region, coupled with socio-economic challenges common among Indigenous Australians, made the road to success a difficult one. Despite these hurdles, Jamee's perseverance and vision have enabled him to create opportunities for himself and his community.

Driven by a deep commitment to giving back to his community, Jamee established Gijaru Workgear. The company offers starter-friendly work kits, including Crib Bags and Crib Kits, designed to provide new employees with the tools they need to feel confident and connected to their cultural roots on their first day. These kits go beyond practicality, embodying a blend of functionality and cultural heritage that empowers Indigenous workers across various industries.

Gijaru Workgear aims to bridge the gap between Indigenous heritage and modern work environments. By integrating cultural elements into the workgear, the company fosters a sense of belonging and pride among Indigenous employees. Jamee’s vision is to ensure that every new starter feels a connection to their roots, enhancing their confidence and productivity.

Jamee Carey’s dedication to his community extends beyond business. He understands the importance of role models and strives to inspire others through his achievements. Gijaru Workgear is not only about providing practical support but also about fostering a sense of pride and cultural identity among Indigenous Australians entering the workforce.

Looking ahead, Jamee envisions a future where more Indigenous Australians can access quality employment opportunities while staying connected to their culture. He hopes that Gijaru Workgear will serve as a catalyst for change, encouraging other companies to adopt similar approaches and support Indigenous employees.

With decades in the trade and mining industries, Gijaru Workgear uses its expertise to craft market-leading products that surpass expectations. The company offers a fresh perspective on new starter kits, one that embraces diversity and innovation, pioneering a new era of diversity and cultural enrichment in the mining industry.
