The government’s upcoming Jobs and Skills Summit represents a genuine opportunity for us to create historic reforms that benefit small businesses and the entire economy. However, time is not on our side.

The Council of Small Business Organisations Australia (COSBOA) congratulates Anthony Albanese on his election victory.

"What we’re not hearing enough of is what our politicians will do to manage the impact of inflation and interest rates on small business owners," writes COSBOA CEO Alexi Boyd.

COSBOA is urging governments to adopt this framework to make it easier for small businesses to navigate exposure site requirements as COVID-19 restrictions ease.

COSBOA encourages the Fair Work Commission to consider supporting a stable employment regime through a minimal increase in the award-based minimum and associated wages.
