SMILE Program: NICL Training
2021-09-20 17:30 - 19:30
The KCCI has engaged Bunyarra Counselling and Mediation after seeing a video on social media about their NICL program. Michael Sanford and Narelle Sanford from Bunyarra developed the NICL program after noticing the ever-growing need for early intervention around people’s mental health and it was a great fit for the what the KCCI is trying to achieve. The program had already been implemented into some large corporations with great success.
The S.M.I.L.E initiative is aimed at businesses to create awareness around mental wellbeing in the workplace as well as ensuring business owners/managers are supported too.
If a business in the region is the member of the KCCI, we will fund 2 people from that business to do the NICL training. We hope future funding applications will allow us to roll this training out to more staff and more businesses across the region. Alternatively, businesses can engage Bunyarra
Counselling and Mediation themselves to deliver the NICL training.
KCCI would like to see all businesses no matter how large or small to engage with any of the service providers we have in our region to discuss their options around mental wellbeing in the workplace. We will have a list of providers on our website in the coming weeks.
When:
Monday 20 September
Time:
5:30pm – 7:30pm
Where:
ANZAC room

A Christmas party for small business
2021-12-13 17:30 - 20:30
We had a great time last year, so we are looking to spread the word to anyone who has a small business, is a sole trader or often works from home alone.
We know that there are businesses who don’t feel like they have enough staff to hold a party, or perhaps live in the South Burnett but work for a company they can’t party with. So this party is put on by Craig Tunley from Kookaburra Business group and myself at our local Kingaroy winery, Kingsley Grove Estate in effort to bridge that gap.
The tickets for this year’s Christmas Party for Small Business and Sole Traders are on sale now! Please, be that person, tap another business on the shoulder who could do with this great night out!
Why did business owners book a ticket to last years’ event:
“To meet likeminded people”
“To network and have an enjoyable evening”
“ support, connection, inspiration”
“To crack bon bons with like business owners”
Some of the responses from last year’s party:
“Great food and good company”
“I liked the speaker, the music and the setting”
“I like the inspiration, the connection, and meeting new people”
“I liked Sean Gordon (last year’s speaker), the venue and conversation”
Get in for a good business night out. Purchase your tickets here
