While younger digital natives are often thought of as an organisation's best response to the rapid pace of change, a workforce with older experienced employees can be more prepared to face...

Starting a new business is an exciting time. A difficulty may be getting all necessary legal advice, and mechanisms in place prior to starting. Although cash flow can be tight when starting out, this is an important time to receive professional advice, as it may limit the risk of unintended issues arising later. What are the legal issues / advice...

This Government went to the last election with a positive plan for vibrant renewal all across our city and suburbs. And our 2017-18 ACT Budget starts delivering that plan.

Chris Miller, Managing Director, Vantage Strata, is a young man on a mission. At 33 years old he may appear younger than your average business owner, however it would be a mistake to underestimate the impact he has had within the strata industry from humble beginnings as a strata manager more than a decade ago.
