Our ex-serving men and women are more than just a uniform they can be any one of a million other professions. If you're hiring or recruiting why not consider employing a veteran? https://t.co/ONaVCNYiRd

Great to see local business owners fill the room at the Star Hotel in Sale this morning, working together to help small business grow. Guest speakers were Victorian Small Business Commissioner Judy O'Connell and digital media specialist Brett Ham. It's important we all do our bit and shop locally whenever we can. And kudos to both the Sale and Maffra Busines and Tourism Associations who are proactively working with the community to provide new opportunities. For those who missed out this morning, there's a small business pop-up information centre in the Sale Mall today. #lovegippsland #myvalley
