From big idea to small business HAVE you got an idea for a business? Need help getting started? The Workforce Australia Entrepreneurship Facilitator program, delivered by Business South in Greater Hobart and South-East Tasmania, can support you on your journey through the maze to self-employment. An Australian Government initiative, the program offers free, practical, and confidential guidance and support on all aspects of starting and running a small business
– from registering business names, website domains and your ABN through to financial, marketing, and strategic advice. “When you’re playing with the idea of starting a business, it can be really overwhelming if you go online and search for support,” Entrepreneurship Facilitator Sharon Harvey said. “The advantage of our program is that we offer the opportunity to talk to a real person in-person or online, brainstorm your
idea and talk through the things you need to consider. “Once we understand where someone’s at in their small business journey, based on their needs we can do further one-on-one mentoring with them or refer them to other relevant programs and services, remembering our services are completely free.” The Entrepreneurship Facilitator program also offers monthly free workshops and information sessions.
In February we have some great topics on offer – free, online and in-person: Online Webinars: • What you need to know when getting started in a small business. • Sustainability in business, a holistic perspective. In-person workshops and networking opportunities: • Coffee and connections (Rosny) - Network and meet fellow small business owners.
• Financial literacy (Kingston) - Understanding what good financial management can look like. • Roadshow (Tasman Peninsula) – Meet the Business South team in an open, drop-in forum. • Get stuff done! Co-working session (Kingston). Bookings are essential. For more information or to book your FREE place go to www. businesssouth.org.au
Celebrate local hearing business’s success FEBRUARY marks the official second birthday of Tasmanian-owned and operated Ability Hearing and Balance! Owners and local audiologists Nick and Heidi Modrovich are known to many in the community, having provided hearing care to many Tasmanians since 2007. “Deciding to open up an independent audiology clinic in the middle of 2019 was certainly an experience,” Nick Modrovich said. “COVID lockdowns happened just as we
were getting ready to build our clinics. This delayed the launch of our business significantly. Looking back though, it really was a blessing in disguise. “Instead of rushing to launch, we took a step back, really looked at what services were lacking in the community, and took our time to create a fullservice audiology clinic that is so much more than just a hearing aid retailer.” Nick and Heidi are super proud of what
Ability Hearing and Balance has achieved over the past two years, as the business has set itself apart from the hearing aid retail chains. Ability patients receive full-service audiology care which includes earwax microsuction, full hearing assessment and hearing aid advice where appropriate; as well as ongoing care and hearing aid servicing. It is also the only clinic in Tasmania to provide a full suite of balance and dizziness testing for complex vertigo cases.
In the past six months, Ability has also added educational audiology to the suite of clinical services it provides to children with auditory processing disorders. To celebrate its second birthday, Ability Hearing and Balance is offering great savings with a technology upgrade offer. Pay an extra $300 on a pair of Signia AX hearing aids and upgrade to the next tech level. Patients can save up to $1300 on a pair of premium hearing aids. Conditions apply.
