RBS Business Readiness Program
Workshops to help small businesses be proactive about risk assessment and planning.
While there has been increasing emphasis in recent years on reducing the personal, social and economic impacts of a natural disaster, there has been little focus on preparing businesses for events including fires, floods and even power outages during severe storms.
A new Rural Business Support (RBS) project which commenced in June 2018 aims to help 135 small rural and regional South Australian businesses be better prepared to withstand and survive natural disaster events, through proactive risk assessment and planning.
Funded under the Natural Disaster Resilience Program by the South Australian Government and the Commonwealth Department of Home Affairs, this project will be delivered by RBS via 27 workshops across regional SA between February 2019 and May 2019. The workshops are open to any small regional business with less than 20 employees.
Attendees only need basic computer knowledge and access to Adobe Reader.
Tea and coffee will be supplied.

Organised by
Rural Business Support (RBS) is a leading not-for-profit provider of agribusiness services and independent support for farmers and rural-related business owners who are concerned about their financial future. Our programs and services can assist and inspire rural business people to be resilient in the face of change, risks and challenges.
Our key purpose is to deliver the Rural Financial Counselling Service (RFCS) in South Australia and the Northern Territory. One of 12 service providers nationally and a member of RFCS Network, RFCS is for families and individuals involved in farming, fishing and small agriculture related businesses that are experiencing financial distress.
Rural Business Support also delivers a Small Business Financial Counselling program, an extension of the RFCS model of support to business owners impacted by COVID-19, drought or recent bushfire events.
We also deliver a range of proactive programs and services that can help to equip farmers and rural-related business owners with financial literacy skills and strategic awareness to make timely decisions and build long term business resilience.
RBS also responds to adverse events such as fire, drought and flood. With staff who live and work in the affected areas, we offer experienced and empathic support for those that have been affected by such events, helping eligible business owners to work through the decisions and actions needed to recover.
