May 2024

Business NSW continues to advocate for you in securing better business conditions across the state.

May is shaping up to be a big month for business, with the Federal Budget set to be handed down May 14. Businesses remain wary of sticky inflation and government spending, and are hoping this ‘pre-election’ budget delivers for small and medium enterprises. On the night Business NSW will provide members with full analysis of what the budget means for our state and the business community.

Read our pre-budget submission, learn what our regional leaders are up to, and join free webinars on WHS issues, the new IR laws or how to conduct a sexual harassment investigation.

When business thrives, we all thrive.
