Dreamtime Flooring Partners with Kinaway
Overview of the Partner’s business
Dreamtime Flooring proudly stands as Australia’s only 100% Indigenous-owned wholesaler, specialising in the creation of flooring that embody the rich narratives of Indigenous cultures. Our business offerings are authentically made in Australia, locally manufactured in Geelong, and bear the unmistakable signature of genuine Indigenous artists.
It began when our director, Joshua Haddock, embarked on a meaningful collaboration with Indigenous artists to provide a practical solution to sharing Indigenous artworks through the medium of flooring.

One of our big social impact projects is through our relationship with On-county pathways. We can proudly say that for every square-meter sold of every product, a percentage is donated to support the not-for-profit charity – On-Country Pathways.
