Jo recently joined Alexi Boyd on the SmallBiz Matters podcast to discuss the benefits of remote work for regional Australia and our National economy. Check out the details and hit the button below to listen.
In the last 12 months policy makers, regional communities, corporates and small businesses all sat up and have taken notice of remote working. But it’s not a new normal for regional communities.
