One of the less obvious aspects of Par 5 Business is how impact is actually generated.

It doesn’t come from individual campaigns or specific moments, but from the decisions organisations make over time. Each time a business chooses to work with another within the network, that activity contributes to something larger than the transaction itself.

On its own, each interaction is relatively contained. But as those decisions continue to happen across the network, they begin to create a consistent and growing contribution toward cancer research.

Because of this, impact isn’t something that sits alongside the program, it is built into the way the program operates.

What if the decisions your organisation is already making could help create a lasting impact beyond the immediate outcome?

Some businesses have been part of the Par 5 journey from the very beginning, and BusinessWorks is one of them.

Established in Melbourne in 1987, BusinessWorks has spent nearly four decades helping small and medium-sized businesses navigate an ever-changing technology landscape. What began in the days of fax machines, printers and onsite support has evolved into a national managed IT services provider, supporting more than 150 businesses across Australia with IT support, cloud solutions, cyber security and technology strategy.

While technology has changed significantly over the years, their approach has remained remarkably consistent. BusinessWorks has built its reputation on strong relationships, practical advice and making IT simple, secure and reliable for the businesses they work with. It's an approach that has seen many clients remain with them for decades.

As a foundation member of the Par 5 network, BusinessWorks continues to bring that same relationship-first mindset to the program, contributing meaningfully to conversations where technology, security and business growth intersect.

For most organisations, procurement decisions are made within fairly established frameworks, preferred suppliers, existing relationships and processes that are designed to ensure consistency and manage risk.

What changes in a model like Par 5 Business is not the importance of those factors, but how decisions are considered within that framework.

It requires taking a slightly broader view of how those relationships are formed and where there may be an opportunity to engage with businesses that are already part of the network, particularly where capability and alignment are already clear.

In practice, this doesn’t replace existing procurement processes, but it does introduce a different lens through which those decisions are made, one that recognises the role those choices can play beyond the immediate commercial outcome.

For example, engaging an existing Par 5 Business supplier for IT services, insurance advice or workforce solutions doesn't change the procurement process. The same due diligence, governance and commercial considerations still apply.

The difference is that the commercial activity also contributes to funding life changing cancer research.

When was the last time you looked beyond cost and capability to consider the broader impact of your procurement decisions?

As Par 5 Business continues to grow across Australia, introducing new organisations to the network and helping build meaningful commercial relationships remains an important part of the journey.

That's where James "Jimmy" Webster comes in.

As Senior Business Development Manager, Jimmy is leading membership growth nationally and working with businesses to explore how they can engage with the opportunities available through Par 5 Business.

While relatively new to the team, Jimmy is certainly not new to Par 5. Having worked alongside the program in previous roles for a number of years, he has seen firsthand how the network has evolved and the impact it is designed to create.

Jimmy brings an extensive professional network, a strong track record in business development, and a genuine passion for connecting people. He understands that the best opportunities are built on strong relationships, shared understanding and long-term value, which aligns closely with the way Par 5 Business. operates.

As we continue to expand the network, Jimmy will play an important role in helping shape the next phase of growth.

Earlier this year, the Melbourne Golf Day at Metropolitan Golf Club brought together businesses from across the Par 5 Business network.

Events like this are less about formal meetings or structured introductions and more about creating the space for conversations to happen in a more natural way. It’s often in these settings that people take the time to properly understand how others operate, which tends to lead to more meaningful connections over time.

Many of the relationships within the network either begin or strengthen through moments like this, before continuing as follow up conversations and, in some cases, developing into more defined commercial engagement.

Relationships

27/09/2026

A lot of what happens across the network begins with a relatively simple step, an introduction.

What tends to shape the outcome is the level of context behind that introduction. Rather than connecting organisations broadly, introductions are typically made where there is already some understanding of how each business operates and where there may be a relevant overlap.

This means that most conversations don’t start from a completely blank position. There is already a sense of why the connection exists, which allows discussions to move more quickly into something meaningful, or just as clearly, to not progress if there isn’t a fit.

It’s a small detail, but one that has a noticeable impact on how activity develops over time.

24/09/2026

One of the shifts we’re seeing more broadly is how organisations are starting to think about procurement. While cost and capability have always been central, there is increasing consideration around how procurement decisions can contribute to broader outcomes over time.

Within Par 5 Business, this way of thinking is already embedded in how the network operates. When organisations choose to work with businesses inside the network, those decisions don’t just lead to commercial outcomes between those organisations. They also contribute to an ongoing funding stream that supports cancer research.

Because this sits within normal business activity, it doesn’t require a separate process or additional layer. It is simply a different way of approaching the same decisions, one that connects procurement more directly with long term impact.

Meaningful conversations. Stronger relationships. New opportunities.

Reflecting on Par 5 Reconnect, Danny Hadjiantonakis, Managing Director at Innovateq, shared:

"The format encouraged meaningful discussions rather than simply exchanging introductions, and it was great to reconnect with people we may not have had the opportunity to engage with for some time."

Danny also described the event as "a great reminder of the importance of maintaining and developing relationships within the network" and said he left feeling "very positive and re-energised about both the existing relationships and the new connections made."

Feedback like Danny's reinforces what makes Par 5 Business unique. Strong relationships lead to meaningful business opportunities, and when members choose to do business within the network, those connections also contribute to funding upper GI cancer research.

Arrow Private Wealth has been part of Par 5 Business since its early stages and remains one of the more consistently active organisations within it.

Their work centres on strategic financial advice, family and business succession planning, and wealth management, supporting both individuals and organisations with long term planning, structuring, and investment decisions. What stands out in practice is the way they approach these conversations, taking the time to properly understand context before moving toward advice or recommendations.

That approach tends to translate well within the network, where most interactions follow a similar pattern. Over time, Arrow has been involved in a number of discussions where their expertise has become relevant as conversations have developed, rather than being the starting point.

As the network continues to evolve, organisations like Arrow Private Wealth play an important role in maintaining that level of engagement, contributing where there is a clear fit and supporting others as those opportunities take shape.

A significant milestone for the Par 5 Business community.

At Par 5 Reconnect 2026, we were proud to present a cheque to the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Research Institute for an additional $50,000, supporting the next phase of research being undertaken through the Eliza Wilmot Scholarship.

Established in honour of Eliza Wilmot, who at just 37, tragically lost her life to gastric (stomach) cancer last year, the scholarship was created to support research focused on improving outcomes for people diagnosed with upper GI cancer. Upper GI cancer includes stomach, liver, pancreatic, oesophageal, and biliary cancers.

Members had the opportunity to hear directly from Associate Professor Lisa Mielke and Dr Pavitha Parathan as they outlined the next steps for their exciting stomach cancer research project, including progressing their work towards a new clinical trial. It was a powerful reminder of what makes Par 5 Business different.

The funding is made possible through the collective efforts of our members and the business activity generated within the network. Every referral, introduction, partnership and opportunity shared contributes to a model that creates both business value and meaningful impact.

While the conversations, connections and transactions created through Par 5 help businesses grow, they also fund important cancer research projects like this one, bringing promising research closer to saving lives.

To our members, partners and supporters, thank you. We are proud to be working together to help advance this important research and look forward to sharing future milestones from the Eliza Wilmot Scholarship.
