Small
Business Field Officers are part of the
Australian Government's Building Entrepreneurship
in Small Business program.
Small
Business Field Officers deliver free general
advisory services to small businesses, providing
a vital resource for the many small businesses
who want to know where and how to access
relevant information and support. This one-stop
service allows local businesses immediate
and direct access to the full range of government
assistance programs and information.
Information
is provided by the Small Business Field
Officers in a variety of ways, including
face-to-face contact, phone or email, newsletters,
seminars, expos and field days. Popular
topics include preparing for export, e-commerce,
taxation and finance and a raft of information
of interest to Home based business operators.
Our Small Business Field Officers are also
in regular contact with business communities,
chambers of commerce, business enterprise
centres and other advisory services involving
each other to maximise program benefits.
