Export Assistance
Thinking of exporting?
There can be many advantages:
- increased sales, increased profit and increased production;
- improvements in performance and competitiveness;
- better utilisation of existing facilities—resulting in lower average production costs;
- balanced seasonal fluctuations;
- distribution of risks; and
- reduction in dependence on local markets.
Exporting companies grow through exposure to new ideas and management practices. They are, on average, more profitable than their non-exporting competitors. Their businesses are more likely to develop improved marketing techniques and the skills base of their personnel develops faster through adaptation to new technologies and improved performance standards.

Women in Global Business
The Women in Global Business program is a joint Australian, State and Territory Government initiative.
Businesses owned and operated by women are one of the fastest growing business segments. Through this national program we want to support more businesswomen to take their products and services to the world.
The Women in Global Business program aims to increase female participation in international trade and deliver greater economic benefit and job creation. To women in business it offers a central source of information and resources, support and connection. For more information visit Women in Global Business .
