Concerns have been raised about the level of lay-offs by small business in the A.C.T. as part of recent Commonwealth re-structuring plans to use fewer consultants.

It’s understood, businesses are downsizing.. or asking staff to take leave without pay.

The Canberra Business Chamber says there are potentially hundreds of affected A.C.T. Locals.

Late last year, the Government moved to wind-back excessive outsourcing – in favour of direct employment, within its own agencies.
