Given the unprecedented challenges for business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Franchise Council of Australia has been absolutely focussed on providing practical support for members through this period.
The leading priority has been to engage with the government proactively and advocating on the key concerns and issues affecting our members by:
-
Participating as a member of the Federal Department of Treasury’s Coronavirus Business Liaison Unit, which was formed to engage with peak business groups on systemic issues relating to Coronavirus; and
-
Advocating for immediate cash relief and assistance for small businesses and retailers in commercial leasing arrangements.
