Help us build FirstCard, together

We’re inviting First Nations businesses, community organisations and corporate partners to shape what FirstCard members experience — from the ground up.

FirstCard is a free digital membership card for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, built by Barayamal — an Aboriginal-led not-for-profit — with support from the NAB Foundation. Every partner offer makes it a little more useful for the community it serves.

Why partner

Why partner with FirstCard

Support First Nations economic empowerment directly, not just symbolically.

Reach a community your everyday marketing may not currently reach.

Be part of an early, values-led program from the ground up.

Where we are right now

FirstCard is early-stage and growing. That means every partner who joins now materially shapes what members experience — you’d genuinely be a founding partner, not one of thousands.

Who can join

Who can submit an offer

First Nations businesses

Your offer is a chance to be seen and supported by the community you belong to.

Community organisations

If your service helps Mob — health, legal, housing, education — members should know about it.

Corporate partners

A genuine member benefit, offered with respect, goes a long way with this community.

What it looks like

Examples of offers that work

“A member shows their card and saves 15% — every visit.”
“A member enters a code at checkout and the discount just applies.”
“A member gets access to a product or pack made just for FirstCard holders.”
“A member sees a NAIDOC Week or back-to-school promo built for them.”

Tell us about your business and your offer

This is what members will see. Required fields are marked; everything else helps us present your offer well.

Partner offer readiness studio

Submit a FirstCard offer

Shape the member benefit, plain terms, protected redemption and support commitments before FirstCard reviews the offer. The readiness score is advisory, so useful offers can still be submitted for operator feedback.

Respectful support path

Add a support contact and a respectful-service note before relying on the offer.

  1. Write the public summary as a member benefit, not a financial product or open public discount.
  2. Keep codes, private links and staff instructions in protected redemption only.
  3. Add terms, expiry, access method and region before the offer is reviewed.
  4. Name the support contact who can fix code, expiry, staff or member access issues quickly.

This panel is guidance only. It does not submit the form, publish the offer, send partner outreach or expose member-only redemption details.
