Working better for small business

Mr Bruce Billson, of Agile Advisory, has undertaken a program to generate ideas and feedback about how the Fair Work Commission can better meet the needs of small business.

Consultation meetings were held across the country to hear candid observations, practical insights and real-life experiences from small business employers and their representatives.

A report of consultation findings and recommendations is available to download:
