20.01.2022 How (and when) is your business transitioning back into the workplace? Following the Prime Ministers announcement last Friday on Australias 3 Step Framework for a COVIDSafe Australia and how the Government will gradually be easing the restrictions, businesses have started to reopen and recommence their normal operations in accordance with the framework. What does that mean for your firm?... Developing a COVIDSafe return to work plan is the first step you should take as an employer when you are directing employees to return to work. That plan should include hygiene and social distancing measures, building management rules (e.g.: use of lifts), measures related to the staffs commute to the office, rules for use of common areas, etc. As an employer, have you thought about: - what you need to consider when developing a COVIDSafe return to work plan? - how to make your workplace safe? - how to reduce health & safety risks? - how to deal with your employees who have concerns on returning to work? - how to communicate (and consult) with your staff? For further details or advice, feel free to contact our HR Manager Julie Delaere on 03 9069 7700 or [email protected]

16.01.2022 Business Advisory + Taxation | Tax deductions for investing in your business Did you know that stimulating investment is high on the Government’s agenda? To encourage spending, the 2020-21 Budget introduced a measure that allows businesses with turnover under $5bn* to immediately deduct the cost of new depreciable assets and the cost of improvements to existing assets in the first year of use. This means that an asset’s cost will be fully deductible in the year it’s installed... ready for use, rather than being claimed over the asset’s life. And, there is no cap on the cost of the asset To find out more about this new government initiative, please refer to our blog below.
