 Whitsunday Chamber News

Here’s a look at what’s coming up at the Whitsundays Chamber of Commerce and Industry for September.

With the Queensland State Election looming and a Federal Election next year, the Chamber will be engaging its members to confirm business priorities for its election agenda. Through this work, the Chamber will also be strengthening its relationship with Business Chamber Queensland and other stakeholder groups to help amplify the needs of regional Queensland businesses.

With a number of new industrial relations changes in play, the Chamber’s inaugural Bites & Insights Webinar will be held 12pm Wednesday 25 September on changes to causal employment.

Mark Lipkin from The Airlie Group will discuss the new definition of casual employment and what the changes mean to local businesses. The webinar series is open to Chamber and Tourism Whitsundays members, and you can register via their website.
