Jiga Jiga Paint: First Nations innovation in full colour

Jiga Jiga Paint is more than just a paint brand—it’s a proudly Indigenous-owned business, a platform for community development, and a bold step forward in creating equitable supply chains in the Australian construction and renovation industries.

As the first national Supply Nation registered Indigenous paint brand, Jiga Jiga Paint is leading the way in bringing high-performance, APAS-certified architectural and decorative paint products to market. These professional-grade paints are designed for use by builders, contractors and home renovators—ensuring they meet the rigorous demands of the building industry while proudly reflecting Aboriginal leadership and cultural identity.

Jiga Jiga was founded by a group of Aboriginal business leaders who saw both a need and an opportunity. They identified a gap in the market for high-quality, locally manufactured paints that could be distributed and supplied by Indigenous businesses—not only to meet project needs but to create employment and business opportunities for Aboriginal people across remote and regional communities.

This vision aligned perfectly with the values of Haymes Paint, an Australian-owned family company with a long-standing commitment to community and quality. Together, they formed a powerful partnership that now underpins the manufacture and distribution of the Jiga Jiga range. Haymes provides the technical expertise and production infrastructure, while Jiga Jiga brings the cultural leadership, entrepreneurial drive and commitment to First Nations communities.

In keeping with its mission, Jiga Jiga aims to become the largest paint supplier to Indigenous communities across the country. But the ambition doesn’t stop there—the brand also seeks to influence how procurement decisions are made in both the public and private sectors. By offering a competitive, certified and culturally aligned product, Jiga Jiga is showing that Indigenous-owned businesses can lead in quality as well as purpose.

The product range itself is built around the needs of trade professionals. It includes a selection of core interior and exterior paint products, all designed to deliver reliable performance, environmental compliance and ease of application. Whether used in a government build, a community housing project or a private development, Jiga Jiga Paint offers a genuine alternative to mainstream suppliers—while keeping economic value within Aboriginal communities.

This is not just about paint. It’s about reshaping industry expectations, creating pride and ownership, and opening new pathways for Indigenous participation in construction, trade and manufacturing.

Jiga Jiga Paint is colour with a purpose.
