Support for employers
Our National Business Gateway makes it easier for Australian businesses to do business with us. The Third Party Contact Centre offers help when retrenching staff.
Our Financial Information Service can help your affected staff. We can organise information sessions that can help your staff facing redundancy with investment and financial concerns.
You can request an information session when you either:

If you call us, say Financial Information Service when prompted.
