Returning this year is the Small Business Festival, delivered by the Victorian Government in August and September to help you launch or grow your business, acquire new skills and identify opportunities. The program this year offers over 500 events held throughout Victoria.

For those unable to attend events, the festival also presents a series of free webinars, many of which are applicable to the building and construction industry.

The events have been planned to address a broad range of topics including business planning and development, financial management, green business and workplace health and safety. In addition to Melbourne, workshops are also being offered in Mornington Peninsula, Frankston, Ballarat, Bendigo, Geelong, Shepparton, Gippsland, Mildura, the south coast, and the north east. The cost of events varies, and some are available at no charge.
