Insight Investment into innovation encouraging stability in manufacturing

Australian manufacturers have been through difficult times, particularly with the shutdown of the automotive industry, but remaining businesses are proving to be agile and resilient having already battled through lots of challenges. In addition, the accelerating pace of new technologies being introduced, combined with COVID-19 disruption and the Government’s substantial industry support, many manufacturing business models have been fundamentally challenged for the better.

Not for Profit Home

Insight How not-for-profit organisations can shift from ‘survival mode’ into sustainability

We saw COVID threaten the sustainability for many not-for-profit (NFP) organisations, forcing some to make operational changes or to shut their doors, and others to adapt and drive innovation to achieve their mission. But what does it mean to be a sustainable NFP, and how do these organisations then remain sustainable for years to come?

Doing business in Australia

Australia welcomes dynamic foreign investment and is one of the most attractive business locations in the world. With a relatively deregulated and open economy, Australia offers opportunities from a broad range of diverse industries, providing investors with a stable political and economic environment, as well as a skilled and multilingual workforce.

Additionally, other major tax changes have resulted in substantial cuts to the corporate tax rate. The Australian government encourages foreign investment with a transparent and liberal screening process. While certain investments require prior approval, there are currently no general foreign exchange restrictions.
