The Australian Government is conducting an independent review of the Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman (ASBFEO). The review looks at the functions and operations of the ASBFEO.
The ASBFEO was established in 2016. The review will consider:
- the kinds of assistance requested
- whether the assistance given was convenient and effective for the operators of small businesses and family enterprises who requested assistance
- whether amendment of the Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman Act 2015 is needed to conveniently and effectively assist the operators of small businesses and family enterprises.
The government is encouraging responses to the questions in the consultation paper from small business owners and family enterprises (and the organisations that represent them), franchisees and franchisors.
