Creating more jobs for Australian workers

Creating more jobs for Australian workers

During a cost-of-living crisis, creating jobs within your local community is one of the most important things you can do as a small business owner.

But only 9% of Australian SMEs created new jobs in 2024, compared with 33 per cent across the Asia-Pacific region, according to CPA Australia's recent Asia-Pacific Small Business Survey.

What can your business do to create jobs and create a team that's ready to scale and expand?Creating jobs and employment in your community

Australian small businesses employ more than 5 million people, according to 2024 statistics from COSBOA, the Council of Small Business Organisations Australia.

But with many small businesses facing cost pressures and reduced access to funding, job creation in the Aussie small business sector is stalling.

Here are a few ways you can look to create new jobs and do your bit to boost employment, economic recovery and growth in Aussie small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs)

Here are five routes you could take to create more jobs

Expanding and hiring more local people:

As the business grows, try to recruit locally when taking on new employees.

By opening new branches, increasing production and expanding your business services, you generate a need for a larger workforce. This is a double whammy that boosts local employment opportunities while also helping the company to grow and scale.

Develop more local supply chains:

Think about sourcing locally when buying goods, services and raw materials.

This indirect job creation supports local suppliers, farmers and manufacturers, while also creating deeper, stronger relationships within your supply chain. It’s a great way to strengthen the regional economy and generate more jobs within your vendor’s operations.

Offering apprenticeships and trainee schemes:

Invest in vocational training by taking on local apprentices or trainees.

Hiring local apprentices helps to create initial job opportunities, but also locks this talent into the local area, by offering a career route to younger members of the community. It’s a great way to boost job opportunities, develop valuable skills and build a future workforce – benefiting both the business, your trainees and the region as a whole.

Get involved in community projects and partnerships:

Seek out local initiatives and community projects that need labour, services or sponsorship.

This could mean offering funding for local events, putting resources into charitable initiatives or taking part in schemes that directly employ community members for short or long-term roles. Being a visible part of the social and business community is a vital part of being a local business – so much in, get involved and see where you can help out.

Use local professional and freelance services:

As a business, try to work with local professionals to support your business growth.

Consciously choose local accountants, freelance marketers, IT support, maintenance contractors and legal firms. This helps your operational spending recirculate within the local economy, while creating jobs and employment in a diverse range of local sectors.
