Simplifying workplace changes: The Small Business Peak Program

The Small Business Peak program is brought to you by the Council of Small Business Organisations Australia (COSBOA) and is funded by the Australian Government Department of Employment and Workplace Relations through the Productivity Education and Training Fund.

The program will be rolled out in phases:

1.        The first phase provides small business employers with a library of resources about some of the Industrial Relations (IR) changes under the Closing Loopholes, Secure Jobs, Better Pay, and Protecting Workers Entitlements initiatives.

2.        The second phase offers a portal for small business owners to sign up and access more information and support to navigate the ongoing IR changes into 2025.

Each month I share business, bookkeeping, and QiBalance updates.

Small Business Peak offers downloadable, plain English toolkits that explain the latest workplace changes, including timelines, implementation checklists and case studies. 

Employers and employees will have immediate access to information on:

·      Wage underpayments,

·      Changes to casual employment,

·      Minimum wage updates, and

·      Superannuation guarantee changes.

The program includes step-by-step guides to save time and to make applying the latest workplace changes easier.

One of Small Business Peak’s significant benefits is the free and instant access to essential information it provides.  It includes quick insights to keep business owners informed.  It includes plain English resources, such as fact sheets, FAQs and compliance checklists to help small business owners understand and implement new legislation without legal jargon.

Small Business Peak simplifies workplace complexities, making compliance more straightforward for small businesses. To access this resource hub, visit the Small Business Peak website here.
