August 2023

August represents the commencement of the latest round of industry meetings for our 11 divisions. With so much happening across the industry, these meetings are a fantastic opportunity for you to catch up with fellow business owners in your sector and discuss the latest topics impacting your business and industry. These meetings are an important aspect of MTA Queensland membership and I encourage all business owners to get involved.

Contact [email protected] to RSVP for your division’s industry meeting.

In breaking news, the MTAA has issued a media release on the commencement of work to update and strengthen the MVIRI Code of Conduct. This matter will be discussed in-depth at our upcoming Collision Industry Meeting on Tuesday, 29th August. So please, if you would like to have your say on the priorities of the review, come along.

The MTAA, in collaboration with HWL Ebsworth Lawyers, will also be hosting a briefing for MTA Queensland members on the Unfair Contract Terms Reform Bill in October. The Bill, which will introduce several changes to the unfair contract terms laws in both the ACL and the ASIC Act, will increase the compliance risk of relying on standard form contracts to conduct business in Australia. All members are encouraged to attend online or in-person.

And finally, registrations are now open for our Auto Women Connect online event on Wednesday, 25th August. With the Auto Women program continuing to grow in numbers and stature, all women from the automotive industry are invited to come along to hear from our incredible guest speakers and catch up with fellow female stars from our industry. You can register now HERE and I will see you there!
