The Council of Small Business Organisations Australia is calling on associations to share its annual Small Business Perspectives Survey and your support in amplifying this across the NTHA network is critical.

This survey is a key opportunity for businesses in regional, rural and remote Australia to have their say. The insights gathered will directly inform COSBOA’s 2026 advocacy priorities, government submissions, and national engagement ensuring real issues are front and centre.

Importantly, this year’s survey includes questions on fuel costs and availability, helping build a clearer picture of the pressure’s businesses are currently facing.

The survey closes 30 April 2026.

With your support, we can make sure regional voices are not just heard—but acted on in shaping national reform discussions for 2026.
