Register your attendance and book a free ticket to the Howrah session.
During Harmony Week (15–21 March), we’re hosting two free information sessions to help support migrant businesses.
If you were born overseas, speak another language at home, or have connections to different cultures and communities, you are an important part of Clarence’s business community.
Whether you’re already running a food or catering business, organising festivals and events, or planning to turn your entrepreneurial idea into reality, these sessions are for you.
We’ll share practical information and local contacts to help you start, grow, and strengthen your business in Clarence.
The sessions are:
- Monday, 16 March 2025 at Howrah Community Centre from 6:00pm – 7:30pm.
- Thursday, 19 March 2025 at Rosny State Library from 10:00am – 11.30am.
Our information sessions will help migrants interested in starting a business, planning to start a business, or those already running a business.
Topics include:
- Getting started with your business.
- Organising events.
- Permanent and temporary food permits.
- How to register a commercial kitchen.
- Hiring council-owned venues and facilities.
- Where to get help with taxation basics, including invoicing.
- Business support and development.
- Promotion and marketing.
Council officers will be available to answer business questions. This includes council officers from our Environmental Health, Economic Development and City Culture (Arts and Events) teams.
Migrant business support organisations Migrant Talent Connector and Many Rivers will also be offering support.
Please note language help will be available if needed.
