Learn how to sell to the government with this free course

Winning government contracts can be a game-changer for small businesses, offering steady work and a chance to grow – but how can you make sure your tenders are on point. A new course has the answers.

Selling to the government could open up exciting opportunities for small businesses. With governments accounting for a whopping $3 out of every $10 spent in Australia, they’re major players in the economy. But working with government agencies can be a bit different from your usual clients—they often have extra requirements that small businesses need to meet.

To help you navigate these opportunities, the NSW Small Business Commission has launched a new course, Selling to the NSW Government.

What the course covers

This short and practical course is designed to boost your chances of winning government contracts by giving you the tools and know-how to stand out. In just 40 minutes, you’ll learn:

How to prepare your business to sell to government

The ins and outs of creating a Capability Statement

Tips for meeting government compliance standards

Ways to communicate effectively with government buyers

You’ll even receive a certificate of completion when you finish.

The course works hand-in-hand with the Commission’s Selling to the NSW Government guide, making it easy to build your knowledge as you go.

Easy access and updates

Already enrolled in the Commission’s Winning Business course? Great news—you’ll find this new course waiting in your portal.

For those who previously signed up for the Selling to the NSW Government Micro Skills course via TAFE NSW, note that it’s now closed for new enrolments. However, if you’re already registered, you have until 28 February 2025 to complete the course, download any resources, and save your certificate.
