WELCOME ACTION ON UNFAIR CONTRACT TERMS

The Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman Bruce Billson has welcomed the Albanese Government’s move to introduce legislation to ban unfair contract terms for small businesses. 

“This is a real problem for small and family businesses and it is very pleasing to see this election commitment being progressed so quickly by the Small Business Minister, Julie Collins, and the Assistant Minister for Competition, Charities and Treasury, Andrew Leigh,” Mr Billson said. 

Welcome win for government procurement contracts

Changes to Commonwealth procurement rules that take effect today will create more opportunities for small business to win government contracts, says the Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman, Bruce Billson.

“There is no substitute for customers and it’s great to see the Commonwealth’s commitment to be a bigger customer for small businesses,” Mr Billson said.
