The COSBOA Roadshow is hitting the road with two tailored programs that address the most pressing issues facing small businesses today: Industrial Relations and Cyber Security. These critical topics are designed to help business owners and employees navigate the challenges in today’s fast-paced and ever-evolving landscape.​
Our Programs
New workplace laws have been introduced across Australia. We're here to help.
Small Business PEAK is here to help your small business understand and implement the new workplace legislation. We’ve put together a suite of materials to help you understand how the changes will impact you and your business, and what you need to do to be prepared.
At Cyber Wardens we are on a mission to ensure Australian small business operate in a cyber safe environment.
By bolstering the cyber capabilities of people who work in small business, we make it easier for small business to increase their cyber posture to prevent attacks and be resilient to them. Our goal is simple. Cyber criminals consider Australia ‘closed for business.’
Workshop Plan
We’re excited to offer two fantastic programs running side by side, designed to provide workplace insights and opportunities for all attendees. We encourage you to take full advantage of both sessions—whether you’re diving into one topic or exploring both, there’s something valuable for everyone.
After the programs wrap up, join us for a networking drinks session, where you’ll have the chance to connect, share ideas and build new relationships in a relaxed setting. We look forward to seeing you there!
