Queensland is now moving towards a preventative approach to job losses, focusing on helping businesses to be resilient to the effects of the global financial crisis and to prepare for the future as conditions improve.
The Queensland Government will provide assistance and support to help businesses to help themselves – strong, resilient businesses help to protect jobs. There is a strong link between the continuing viability of businesses in a downturn and their ability to retain workers.
The support will be provided in two stages:
- Stage 1 will provide up to $3,000 to assist the client to engage a consultant to conduct an assessment of their business and develop an Action Plan to address all strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.
- Stage 2 will provide up to $5,000 to assist the client to implement the activities identified as immediate priority tasks in their Action Plan that could include an effective reporting process, through the engagement of a consultant to mentor or provide expert advice on the implementation process or through the provision of a contribution to the application of relevant State and Federal support programs or through the provision of other support services identified in the Action Plan for the business implementation process.

Fair Work Act Seminars
Learn about the changes to workplace relations law that will affect your business.
Four out of five small businesses say they’re not ready for the introduction of the new workplace laws, many of which came into effect on 1 July. The AMR Interactive research found that while small businesses were aware of the new workplace relations laws, 45% were either unprepared or uncertain about the changes and their potential impact.
While most small businesses are aware the laws are changing, they are struggling with what the changes mean for their business and how they can manage the risk given that fines and remedies are the same for small business as for big business. According to the research, almost one third of all businesses (32%) think the changes will have a negative impact on their business and close to half (46%) of businesses currently have no systems in place to manage the new workplace relations laws.
With the new unfair dismissal laws now in effect, time poor and resource constrained small businesses need to implement human resources systems as quickly as possible.
