Presidents Update

Dear Members

These are unprecedented times for all of us. Small and medium businesses on the Gold Coast will be some of the hardest hit by the flow down effects of dealing with the pandemic and the resulting economic consequences.

I urge you to support each other in business by continuing to do business locally where and when you can. Of course all our events are on hold for the foreseeable future.

Get advice from your professional advisors about how to manage the impacts on your business and reach out by phone to your fellow business owners to get mentoring and support.

We will endeavour to keep our website updated with relevant alerts.

Full details of all the current government support can be found on the official pages: www.treasury.gov.au and www.business.qld.gov.au .
