Budget 2022-23: Supporting small businesses to do what they do best

Following Treasurer Josh Frydenberg’s delivery of the federal budget for 2022-23, the Government is focussed on its commitment to continue to support small businesses describing them as being “at the heart” of the Australian economy with Australian’s small businesses employing around 7.8 million workers.

In the spirit of reconciliation, Sarina Russo Group acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
