The South Australian Business Chamber Today

UPDATED: Final call to #BackAustralianBusiness

Friday, May 20th 2022

Our Federal Government needs to support Australian small businesses. As you cast your vote this Saturday 21 May, this is your chance to be heard. 

The past few years of uncertainty have highlighted how important government support is for local businesses, from stimulating investment to reviewing business insurance costs.

Here is what our peak body in Canberra, the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, has said we need from our government to keep stimulating small businesses as we adjust to the new normal:

  • investment in digital technology and training
  • stimulate local business investment in assets
  • address the huge increase in business tax
  • ease the regulatory burden on small business 
  • address cross-agency duplication
  • improve access to risk capital
  • support small businesses when disaster strikes
  • reward the sustainability efforts of small businesses.

By getting these policies across the line we can establish changes that make a real difference.

UPDATE: As part of the campaign, ACCI is informing its members and the broader business community about the detail of key policies from the major parties.

ACCI has asked both major parties for their response to a series of policy questions. These questions reflect the five policy pillars of ACCI’s Back Australian Business campaign.

Labor response

The Labor campaign’s response to policy questions from ACCI can be found here.

Coalition response

The Coalition campaign’s response to policy questions from ACCI can be found here.

Show your support by contacting key decision-makers. Together we can ensure the prosperity of not just businesses, but all Australians.
