Conversations with the Small Business Commissioner
Small businesses are the backbone of our regional economy, yet many are facing increasing pressures, from rising operating costs and workforce challenges to navigating regulation and economic uncertainty.
Join Business Illawarra and Destination Sydney South & Surrounds for an exclusive conversation with NSW Small Business Commissioner, Kalina Koloff, as we explore the opportunities and challenges facing small businesses across the Illawarra, Shoalhaven and Southern Highlands.
This is your opportunity to hear directly from the new Commissioner, gain insights into the support available for small businesses, and contribute to a constructive discussion about what is needed to help businesses thrive.
Facilitated by Coralie McCarthy, Director of Business Illawarra, the session will feature a moderated Q&A with questions submitted both in advance and live on the day, giving business owners the opportunity to share their perspectives.
Whether you're running a start-up, family business, tourism operation, professional service or growing enterprise, this is a unique opportunity to engage in an open, practical and solutions-focused conversation with one of NSW's leading advocates for small business.
