The Voice of Business Community

RSM Australia has been involved with the Busselton Chamber of Commerce as a Corporate Sponsor for over 20 years and has had many staff fill the Finance Director role. We believe a strong business community requires the business community to contribute as one. The sharing of ideas and the thoughts put forward by proactive business people has created the current economic environment we participate in today. The Chamber provides the avenue to do this and provides the forums to allow business people to network and share/learn from each other. Membership of the Chamber is a must for any business as the benefits are great.

The Busselton Chamber of Commerce and Industry cares about this community and the local businesses that help underpin its economic viability. This is why Rio Tinto has been a member of the Chamber since establishing a presence here in the South West more than 15 years ago. Membership affords the opportunity to network with organisations large and small and to keep abreast of business trends. Supporting your local chamber of commerce is a great way to stay in touch and give back to your community.

As Federal Member for Forrest, the Busselton Chamber of Commerce and Industry helps keep me up to date with issues affecting our local businesses and industries and how Federal Government policies are affecting local business trading conditions. Busselton CCI also advocates for and on behalf of the local business community and delivers practical training and collaborative opportunities.

I am writing this testimonial on behalf of South West Counselling to express our sincere appreciation for the support and services provided by the Busselton Chamber of Commerce. As a non-profit community organisation, dedicated to offering counselling and other support services in the Busselton and South West region, we have utilised the knowledge and skills held by members of the Busselton Chamber of Commerce on various occasions. The Chamber’s commitment to promoting local businesses and encouraging economic growth in our region is acknowledged, and we are proud to provide a testament to their positive influence.

Contacting the Busselton Chamber of Commerce and speaking to their welcoming CEO was a great business decision. Since then, the BCCI has helped me establish solid business relationships and provided many networking opportunities and an array of very helpful services and support. As a local business owner, I would strongly recommend joining the BCCI and enjoying the amazing benefits they offer.

Busselton Jetty signed up many years ago to be a member of the Busselton Chamber of Commerce for two key reasons.  Our senior staff enjoy attending networking and training sessions to speak to local businesses about common issues and work on partnerships that will benefit everyone through referrals, increased knowledge and/or promotion.  The second key reason was for access to CCIWA, its resources and professional people to assist us with knowledge and advice on those issues that are complex, such as employment law and other areas of legislation and compliance.

Being part of the Busselton Chamber of Commerce and Industry has been instrumental in growing my business (and growing it right).  It has given me access to a huge network of local businesses who support and champion one another as well as enabling me to utilise free HR and legal services to get best practice advice on hiring and ensuring I am always on the right side of my employer obligations.  If you’re a local business and you’re not a member, why not??

The Chamber has been of great service to me. Since joining, I have met other local business owners. I’ve extended my network and even picked up a new contract. Busselton Chamber’s team goes out of its way to link members, provide education, and further local business. The After Five evenings are fun and exceptionally catered. Well worth the membership fee.

Since arriving in Busselton 17 years ago and starting our business we were encouraged to join the local Chamber of Commerce. Being new to the area it seemed the obvious way to engage with other businesses and organisations in the region. During this time we have benefited from advice, meeting other members and professionals to further grow our business, in addition to the advocacy to champion small business owners, locally and on a state level. The strength of a community will always be the people who engage in it. I recommend joining the chamber and with their wider support, can support you on your small business journey.
