Membership in our incubators also gives you access to our range of meeting and board rooms with state-of-the-art audio visual and seating options to suit any kind of event.

Local government agencies are important in the delivery of the Digital Solutions program, particularly in regional areas. Often, LGAs are the central point of contact and are a resource hub for small business owners, so we partner with LGAs to provide workshops and connect with local small business owners.
Digital Solutions advisors hold formal qualifications in business or information technology related disciplines and have at least two years’ experience providing digital advice to small or medium sized businesses.
Across Western Australia, Queensland and the Northern Territory, our advisors are local experts. As small business owners themselves, they understand the challenges associated with running a business in their location. This allows them to provide tailored business advice in their area of expertise.
Any for-profit small business with an ABN and fewer than 20 employees in Queensland, Western Australia or the Northern Territory is eligible to access the advisory services.
Each small business can access up to 24 hours of advisory throughout the contract period (up until July 2021).
The Digital Solutions program is funded by the Commonwealth Government, through AusIndustry.
Digital Solutions – Australian Small Business Advisory Services program is a three-year Federal Government funded program aimed at increasing the digital capabilities of Small Businesses in Australia. It accomplishes this by offering low cost, easy to understand workshops, webinars, and advisory services directly to small business owners.
Business Station, in partnership with Regional Development Australia (RDA) Brisbane and Treeti Business Consulting in the Northern Territory are contracted to deliver advisory services across Western Australia, Queensland and Northern Territory.
