| With more than 1.88 million small businesses in Australia employing 3.6 million people and with a total capitalised worth of $4.3 trillion, 4 times that of the Australian stock exchange, small business is a very important sector of the Australian economy.
In Tasmania that figure is close to 30,000 small businesses. The Tasmanian Small Business Council is widely recognised as the peak body of small business organisations, industry groups and individual firms in the State.
This site provides information for members, and the general public about the Council and small business issues. Feel free to contact us regarding this site or any of our functions including our Small Business Dinners.
We meet on a regular basis in order to promote and protect the interests of Small Business in this State.
Primary aims of the organisation are:
- Promoting and supporting the development of small business in Tasmania
- Advocating to advance the interests of small businesses in Tasmania through policy change and regulatory reforms
- Fostering an increased awareness and understanding of the role of the small business sector among elected government officials, the public service, large business, the media and the general community
We hold a number of dinners featuring prominent guests relevant to the small business sector. |
