Business Port Augusta is launching a new initiative to support the wellbeing and capability of local business owners, and the Local Buying Foundation is backing it. This multi-event program will deliver practical tools for personal wellness and business success across four events scheduled between June and September 2025.
The program includes two distinct but complementary streams:
- Sustainable Success Workshop: A 2.5-hour interactive session focused on stress management, physical health, and work-life balance. Participants will engage in guided meditation, self-assessments, and receive a 30-day mindfulness journal to support long-term wellbeing .
- Your Business Compass Workshop Series: A full-day event supported by networking and a masterclass, offering practical skills in branding, financial management, marketing, and leadership. Up to 75 participants will benefit from ongoing mentoring and resources designed to strengthen local employment and supply chains.
This initiative was recommended for full funding by the LBF Advisory Committee due to its strong alignment with LBF’s goals in regional business development and community resilience. Business Port Augusta has demonstrated the capacity and leadership to deliver high-quality programming that is inclusive and accessible to all businesses in the region.
The workshops are not part of the organisation’s routine activities, they represent a strategic investment in the wellbeing and capability of Port Augusta’s business community. The events are open to all local businesses and are designed to foster collaboration, innovation and sustainable growth.
Participants will walk away with practical tools to improve their personal wellbeing and business performance. The workshops will help build stronger leadership, more resilient supply chains and a more connected business community. By supporting both personal and professional development, the initiative contributes to a healthier, more vibrant local economy.
