COVID-19 support
To help you understand and respond to the many new and ongoing challenges presented by COVID-19, we provided regular updates on managing the workplace, government grants and business support for SMEs. We also developed new initiatives, like our COVID Chat for Business podcast mini-series, to help interpret and untangle key issues for members and businesses.
Budget coverage
Tax Time 2021
From a public interest perspective, we worked to educate the community on their tax obligations and what they need to consider at tax time. To support this, we issued four media releases, covering topics like the gig economy, small business, mum and dad investors and top tips for employees this tax time.
