Answer -

I am advised the Government is currently developing a Charter for Small Business, that will set out our commitment to the sector. To inform the Charter, the NSW Department of Customer Service, with Service NSW for Business, are consulting small business peak bodies and stakeholders, and NSW Government Agencies.

As part of this work, we are considering the alignment of the Small Business Strategy 2023-2026 with the Charter.

An announcement on the Charter is expected to be made by the end of 2023.
