Family Business Association (FBA) advocates for the family business sector over concerns the upcoming Industrial Relations Legislation changes on 26 August will have unintended consequences on Australia’s family businesses.

Your family business could face significant disruption if a family member needs to access money for a divorce settlement. That’s why it’s important to develop a family policy on prenuptial agreements to protect your business and wealth. We share tips on how to approach these sensitive conversations and why it’s important to start early.

Healthy family business interactions are underpinned by healthy family relationships. Sometimes the collaboration and rapport-building practices taught in MBA programs don’t have the same traction in family businesses. If there’s relationship tension in your family business, strategies based on ‘Bowen family systems theory’ may help you get to the root of the problem, and help you find a solution.

Family Business Association (FBA) is proud to be promoting Australian Family Businesses through a fortnightly segment on 3AW's Australia Overnight with Tony McManus. On 10 July 2024, Brandon Reynolds from The Yoghurt Shop joined Tony McManus to discuss the family business, their humble beginnings at the Adelaide Central Market, how it grew into the business it is today and future plans for the business expanding into some of the larger cities they work in.

Since its inception in 1962 by Neil T Fallon, Fallon Solutions has been synonymous with quality and unparalleled service in the trade industry. We spoke with the Denning family, who has assumed leadership for the business, to learn more about their values and approach towards running the family business.

Family Business Australia Ltd (trading as Family Business Association) is calling for Director Nominations across four regions - New South Wales/ACT, Queensland, South Australia/Northern Territory and Victoria/Tasmania - and encourage applications from FBA members by 26 August 2024.
