As the calendar turns to a new year, I’m filled with excitement and optimism for what 2025 will bring to small businesses across Queensland. The festive season gave many of us the chance to reflect on the year gone by. Now, with the holiday period behind us, it’s time to roll up our sleeves, reconnect with our communities, and continue driving success for Queensland’s small businesses.
In my role as Small Business Commissioner, I am constantly inspired by the resilience, innovation, and passion of small business owners. This year, my office is hitting the ground running, ready to support you in tackling the challenges you face and seizing the opportunities that lie ahead. Whether you need assistance on leasing disputes, guidance on business relationships, or simply a listening ear, we’re here to help.
One of the greatest joys of my role is visiting small businesses in every corner of our great state. From the vibrant streets of Southeast Queensland to the bustling coastal towns and the quiet gems of remote and rural Queensland, I can’t wait to get back out there to meet the incredible people behind the counter, in the workshop, and at the heart of our communities.
If you’ve set big goals for 2025, know that you don’t have to navigate the journey alone. My office is here as a trusted partner, ready to support you with practical tools and resources. You can contact my team on 1300 312 344 or by lodging an enquiry online. Together, we can make this a year of growth, opportunity, and success for Queensland’s small business sector.
