RCCIWA Survey - Impacts of Fuel Supply Restrictions

RCCIWA and our members are working closely with Government to advocate for support for regional businesses in WA who are currently being impacted by the Fuel restrictions. We know this is a critical concern for so many regional businesses and their communities in WA, as well as our members and we are collectively acting swiftly and strongly to ensure the voice of business in regional WA is heard.

To assist with this, we have prepared a short survey for regional businesses to participate in. We are only opening this survey for six days as it is an urgent issue and we want to feed back the results to Government asap. Closing at 5pm Tuesday March 24th.

We encourage regional businesses in WA to complete the survey. Please share with your networks.

The FFTITC team would like to thank all of our stakeholders who provided us input so that we could provide advice to the WA government for the WA Jobs, Education and Training Survey (WAJET).

Some responded to our survey, others attended our Skills Advisory Network meetings and many others provided us with input over the past 12 months when we have either met with you, or toured your businesses or attended workshops!

Your input will hopefully influence those occupations to be placed on a priority list as well as policy and funding developments.

SO A BIG THANK YOU!! This year, we provided input on 62 occupations including dog handlers, agronomist, park ranger, turf grower and horse breeder + other diverse occupations.
