This seminar will provide an overview of services from 7 Government agencies and how they link to each other.

Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)

You can’t hit the target if your aim’s off-cue. The ABS will provide you with the armoury you need to improve your aim and locate your target market.

Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC)

Be informed about your rights as a small business and your obligations to your customers, suppliers and competitors. Get the right information about business protection and the Trade Practices Act.

Department of Consumer and Employment Protection (DOCEP)

Attraction and retention of staff are key issues for employers. Building and maintaining a working relationship when you’ve found the right person for the job are just as important. You need to know about the correct wages and entitlements for your staff and the Labour Relations branch of DOCEP can provide you with a snapshot of minimum entitlements, award coverage, and other important employment information. Find out about the services provided through Wageline (1300 655 266).

Office of State Revenue (OSR)
