The small business recovery towards the new covid normal with The Honourable Di Farmer MP

Thursday November 11 at Rydges Gold Coast Airport – starts at 7.00am

Join us for a delicious breakfast at this stunning new hotel as we hear from The Honourable Di Farmer MP is the Minister for Employment and Small Business and Minister for Training and Skills Development.

The Hon. Di Farmer MP will discuss the Queensland’s COVID Vaccine Plan to unite families and protect Queenslanders and the impacts on Southern Gold Coast businesses.

The Honourable Di Farmer MP is the Minister for Employment and Small Business and Minister for Training and Skills Development, and serves as Member for Bulimba on Brisbane’s Southside.

She has also held the position of Minister for Child Safety, Youth and Women, and Minister for the Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence.

Prior to becoming a Minister in the Palaszczuk Labor Government, she was Deputy Speaker of the Queensland Parliament.

After starting her working life as a speech pathologist, Di pursued a career in both the public and private sectors, where she held a range of senior management positions. This included establishing her own consultancy business specialising in strategic communications.

The issues Di addresses in her portfolio are very close to her heart and she is thrilled that she can travel around Queensland engaging with small businesses so Government can best tailor it’s support to their needs.

Queensland is home to more than 445,000 small businesses that are at the core of every industry sector. They are in every community in every region, represent over 97 per cent of businesses statewide, and employ approximately 44 per cent of all private sector workers.

Di is passionate about small business being front and centre of the Queensland Government plans for economic recovery.
