Who We Are
The Indigenous Consumer Assistance Network (ICAN) is an Indigenous organisation committed to a future of empowered consumers, strong communities and fair economies. We support First Nations peoples and the broader community to build financial wellbeing, strengthen capability and create lasting change.
What We Do
Our work brings together financial wellbeing services, research and advocacy, and workforce development. We provide practical support that empowers people to improve their financial situation, while using research and advocacy to address systemic consumer disadvantage and develop innovative, evidence-based programs and services.
Building Stronger Communities and Workforces
We also invest in the people and organisations that support communities. Through sector-driven education and professional development, ICAN helps build skilled, agile workforces that reflect the communities they serve.
Our Values
Empowerment • Connection • Integrity • Innovation • Learning
Everything we do is guided by our values of Empowerment, Connection, Integrity, Innovation and Learning. These values shape how we work with communities, partners and each other – ensuring our work is grounded in strong relationships, continuous learning and a commitment to creating meaningful and sustainable change.
