A recent Committee for Wyndham event was another reminder of the value of bringing local business and community leaders together.

At Matthews Steer, our purpose is to empower our communities to live their potential, and we believe when local businesses thrive, the entire community benefits.

As proud members of Committee for Wyndham, we value the opportunities it creates for local businesses, community leaders and organisations to come together, share ideas and contribute to the future of the region. Our Partner, Adrian Misiano, advises many businesses in Wyndham and regularly represents Matthews Steer at Committee for Wyndham events.

Through these events, Adrian engages in conversations that extend beyond business performance to the broader issues, opportunities and initiatives shaping Wyndham's future. Connecting with fellow business leaders helps him better support their growth and sustainability.

Our advisors see firsthand the positive impact that collaboration between businesses, councils, community organisations and industry leaders can have on economic growth, investment and community outcomes. The insights and connections gained through these events help us better support our clients while remaining connected to the needs and aspirations of the community we serve.

Thank you to Committee for Wyndham and everyone involved in creating opportunities for meaningful discussion, collaboration and progress across the region. We're proud to contribute to conversations that support Wyndham's continued growth and success.

This morning, our team came together for Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea - a tradition that has been part of our calendar for many years, and one we always look forward to. Those who know us know we love to bring people together for a great cause, and supporting the incredible work of the Cancer Council is something close to many of our hearts

As well as enjoying tea and treats, we held a “Guess How Many Tea Bags in the Jar” competition. Congratulations to Amalia, whose guess of 74 was impressively close to the actual total of 73! 🎉

Thanks to everyone who donated and got involved, we raised $342 for the Cancer Council.

Now we want to know… how many would you have guessed? 👀

Last week, we welcomed the leadership team from VBP our office to share their latest initiatives and collaborate with our business leaders.

Our conversations focused on more than operational alignment – they centred on people, innovation and creating long-term opportunities. From exploring how technology and AI can support smarter ways of working, to strengthening career development pathways and learning opportunities for our offshore team, it was a strong reflection of our collaborative partnership.

Thank you to the VBP team – we look forward to what’s ahead as we continue working together to build a connected, forward-thinking and people-focused business.

For many family businesses, success across generations isn’t about avoiding change – it’s about navigating it deliberately.

At FBA AU's Family Business Conference 2026, Matthews Steer Partner Adrian Misiano will be part of a session exploring exactly that.

Thriving Across Generations brings together perspectives from Brydie Hull and Cathy Tobin of Tobin Brothers, sharing what it takes to sustain and evolve a family business over time.

It’s a practical conversation grounded in experience, not theory.
