Celebrating NAIDOC Week 2026: Meet Our Incredible Partner, Gimarra
NAIDOC Week 2026 is here (July 6-13), and we couldn't be more excited to celebrate.
This year, we're marking the occasion by shining a spotlight on one of our proudest partnerships: Hampr x Gimarra. It's a collaboration that brings together everything we love about great products, meaningful business, and supporting Indigenous excellence in Australia.
Let us introduce you to Gimarra and tell you why we think this partnership is something truly special.
Who Is Gimarra?
Gimarra means ‘milk’ in Wiradjuri.
Gimarra is a 51% Indigenous-owned business with an extraordinary story. They've been operating in the dairy, plant-based, and beverage distribution space for 50 years. That's five decades of building relationships, perfecting their supply chain, and delivering premium products to businesses across the country. They're not new to this. They're experts at it.
Led by Director Geoffrey Johnson, a proud Wiradjuri man, Gimarra Dairy is proudly Indigenous-owned.
What makes Gimarra stand out is the combination of authentic Indigenous ownership and seriously impressive commercial credentials. This is a business that supplies household-name brands like Bonsoy, Vitasoy, and So Good, and holds a 97% client retention rate across corporate, government, and education customers.
Through the Gimarra Foundation, we extend our impact beyond the farm – supporting community initiatives in education, youth empowerment, health and wellbeing
When we say quality, we mean it. Gimarra doesn't ask you to compromise on anything. You get the same premium products you'd expect from any top-tier supplier, backed by a team with half a century of experience.
Why This Partnership Excites Us
When we set out to build the Hampr pantry, we wanted to work with suppliers who reflect what Hampr stands for: quality, reliability, and doing business in a way that creates real positive impact.
Gimarra ticks every box.
Through this partnership, your workplace pantry gets stocked with premium instant coffee, milk (full cream, oat, almond, and more), beverages, and snacks, all supplied through Gimarra's distribution network. The products are excellent. The pricing is market-competitive. And every order supports Indigenous economic participation in a real, tangible way.
It's the kind of partnership where everyone wins. Your team gets great products. Your business supports Indigenous enterprise. And Gimarra continues to grow and create opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
What NAIDOC Week Means to Us
NAIDOC Week is a time to celebrate the history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. It's one of the most important weeks on the Australian calendar, and for us, it's personal.
Partnering with Gimarra isn't a NAIDOC Week activation that disappears on July 14. It's a year-round commitment that we're especially proud to celebrate this week. Every pantry order through Hampr that includes Gimarra products is a small but meaningful act of support, not just during NAIDOC Week, but every week.
That's the part we love most. This isn't a one-off gesture. It's baked into how we operate.
What You Can Expect
If you're thinking about bringing Hampr and Gimarra into your workplace, here's what it looks like:
- Premium products you already know and love (Bonsoy, Vitasoy, So Good, specialty coffee, and more)
- Market-competitive pricing with no "doing the right thing" premium
- Weekly or monthly delivery straight to your office
- Simple ordering through the hampr.com.au platform
- Supply Nation registered, so your procurement team can report with confidence
For organisations with ESG goals or a Reconciliation Action Plan, this partnership makes Indigenous procurement effortless. It fits naturally into your existing pantry spend, no extra budgets, no separate programs, no admin headaches. Your regular pantry orders automatically contribute to Supply Nation procurement targets.
But honestly? Even without the reporting benefits, the products speak for themselves.
A Partnership Built to Last
We started this partnership because we believe in what Gimarra represents: Indigenous excellence, commercial quality, and 50 years of proof that you can build a brilliant business while creating lasting impact for community.
This NAIDOC Week, we're celebrating Gimarra, their story, their products, and the incredible team behind it all. We're proud to have them as a partner, and we think you'll love what they bring to your workplace.
