Listening to Small Business Forums

The ACT Government, in partnership with Canberra Business Council, will be facilitating a series of Listening to Small Business Forums through August to October 2013.

 As outlined in the Growth, Diversification and Jobs: A Business Development Strategy for the ACT, the ACT Government is committed to listening to and working with small businesses to resolve sector based issues. In order to achieve this commitment, the ACT Government is seeking to create a dialogue with small and micro business across different industry sectors to better understand the issues and opportunities they are dealing with in 2013. Where there is a role for the ACT Government to address these matters, we will strive to do that directly and quickly.

The Listening to Small Business Forums will be delivered in partnership with the Canberra Business Council.  The forums will be sector based across 10 industry areas.

Registration is essential as each Forum will be limited to around 15 participants.

The schedule for the Forums is provided below.  If you are a small business owner or operator and you would like to participate in your industry discussion please register with:
