Cyber Sips and Security Tips: Yours, mine, ours: Supply chain liability for SME’s

Running a business today means keeping an eye not just on your own operations, but on every link in your supply chain. But what happens when someone else’s mistake becomes your problem?

Join us for an open, practical session on supply chain liability where you’ll discover exactly how these issues impact your business, learn where your responsibilities start and stop, and get concrete steps to reduce your risk.

This event is designed especially for small and medium businesses in our region. You’ll gain practical tips from insurance and business experts, hear real-world examples, and walk away with clear actions to strengthen your contracts and compliance—all aimed at reducing your business’s exposure to liability.

Whether you’re sourcing locally or globally, this session will give you a clear understanding of your obligations under Australian law. You’ll be empowered to make smarter, safer decisions that protect your business from supply chain risks.

Come along, ask questions, and leave feeling confident about managing your part of the chain.
