New course launched to help small businesses sell to the Government

A new course on Selling to the NSW Government has been developed by the NSW Small Business Commission to help small businesses improve their prospects of selling to the government. 

Governments can be great customers for small businesses. They are a big part of the economy with $3 in every $10 spent in Australia is spent by governments. But they may also expect your business to do and have things that other customers may not usually require.   

This short course will give you practical tips on how to identify and respond to opportunities, making your business more competitive in the government marketplace.  

Topics include how to: 

• Get ready to sell to government 
• Create a Capability Statement 
• Meet government compliance standards 
• Effectively communicate with government buyers 

The course will only take approximately 40 minutes to complete and a certificate will be issued upon completion. To access the course, click here. 

The course also complements the Commission’s Selling to the NSW Government guide so you can use these side-by-side. 

If you already have access to our Winning Business course, you will be able to see the new course when you log in to the portal. 

Please note, the Selling to the NSW Government Micro Skills online course through TAFE NSW has now closed. If you previously registered for this course, you have until 28 February 2025 to access the course, download resources and templates, and save your certificate.
