A new, government-backed information hub promises to assist small businesses navigating the complex industrial relations landscape — while offering an artificial intelligence chatbot to handle business queries.
Small Business Peak, launched last week, is a new digital project from the Council of Small Business Organisations Australia (COSBOA).
Its core website offers free information sheets, timelines, and in-depth explanations of changing industrial relations legislation.
It covers updates like the minimum wage increase, which came into effect July 1, along with changes to casual employment and the ‘right to disconnect’, both of which apply from August 26.
Other wholesale changes to the industrial relations landscape, underpinned by the Secure Jobs, Better Pay and Closing Loopholes bills, are covered by Small Business Peak materials.
