More help for small business

It is election time and the largess continues. The Federal Government has announced five new small business field officers around Australia. This takes the total field officer network to 75.

The field officers provide practical and on the ground support to small business, particularly in regional areas.

They can help small businesses negotiate the maze of Government programs and grants and assist with queries on export and recruitment.

The new officers will be deployed in the outer regional areas of Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and south east Tasmania.
