night the award for best NSW small business with more

The Telstra & Australian
Governments' Small Business Awards
Overview
Since their inception in 1992, the Telstra & Australian
Governments' Small Business Awards have grown to become
the premier national Awards
program, designed to celebrate and showcase the many
achievements of Australia's dynamic small business
sector.
Small businesses in this country have a long and proud
tradition of producing some of Australia's best
innovations and their contribution to the economy is
critical. They do this however in an incredibly
challenging environment, with more pressure than ever
before to increase value, build better products, reduce
costs and improve service.
These Awards provide small businesses with a range of
business benefits, designed to add real value to their
bottom line. Specifically, through extensive promotion
and publicity, the Awards enable businesses to promote
their achievements to the broader community, including
the media, potential customers and new partners. They
also help small businesses develop new business
relationships, reward hard working staff and share in a
substantial national prize pool.
Even the process of entering these Awards, which
requires a rigorous examination of the operational skill
of the entrepreneurs, has provided enormous benefits to
entrants in the past.
Telstra is delighted to continue running this important
Awards program and we are proud to play a part in
encouraging the excellence that exists in Australia's
small business sector.
These awards are an opportunity for all small businesses
to celebrate their achievements and seek recognition for
their valued contribution to our country.
