Expert Connection

Small Business Support Program

We know that things have been tough for businesses this year and realise that the road ahead won’t always be smooth. Sometimes a bit of expert advice can be just what is needed to help get back on track. With this in mind, Regional Development Australia Limestone Coast (RDALC) has introduced a new program called Expert Connection, designed to help you access professional support that can a difference to your business.
If your business has been doing it tough, RDALC can pay for you to access up to three hours of professional, independent advice with one of our region’s experts.
Professional services available through Expert Connection include:

You may not have the time or money to find the right person to talk to about your business right now, so we have compiled a list of local professionals in a range of fields to provide you with the support and advice you may need.
Once you sign up for Expert Connection, we will provide a list of experts who have agreed to assist us with this program. You then get to select who you would like to see, make the appointment yourself and meet with them privately.
The expert will provide you with the support you need and send RDALC the bill. It’s as simple as that.
Participants will have to meet some eligibility requirements to take part, however the process will be straight forward – so you can focus on your business.

For more information, including eligibility criteria please refer to the Expert Connection Program Guidelines.
