Helping Small Biz Shine

With more than 10,300 registered small businesses in the Mackay region, the Mackay Region Chamber of Commerce knows just how vital local operators are to the health of our economy. That’s why the Chamber continues to advocate strongly on behalf of small businesses – giving them a collective voice and greater visibility across the region and beyond.

One of the simplest – and most enjoyable – ways to connect with other local businesses is through the Chamber’s popular B2B Brews, held fortnightly at various local cafes. Whether you're new to business or a seasoned operator, these relaxed networking events are a great way to share ideas, build connections and keep your business brewing all the right things.

As a proud media partner, Mackay Life supports the Chamber’s mission and gives all new members the chance to feature in a free business editorial – because we’re a small local business too!

With May marking Queensland Small Business Month, there’s never been a better time to show your support. From shopping local to writing a review or sharing your favourite small business on socials, small gestures really do make a big difference. Together, we can help small businesses shine.
