📣 NBN Meeting Highlights – Federal Budget Follow-Up with MLS Financial 📣

Today’s Nepean Business Network meeting continued the conversation from last week, with Michael Schembri from MLS Financial returning to take a deeper dive into the latest Federal Budget changes and what they mean in practice for local businesses and individuals.

Following the strong interest and questions from the previous session, Michael helped unpack the key points further, giving members practical insights to consider when planning ahead. It was another valuable and engaging discussion, with plenty of thoughtful questions and real-world considerations raised by the room.

We also took a moment to reflect on the incredible success of our Casino Night held over the weekend. A huge thank you to Julie Lonard from 1st Choice Insurance Services for her tireless organising work, along with the many NBN members who contributed their time, energy and support to help make the night such a success.

Events like this show the strength of our local business community — coming together to learn, connect, support great causes and make a real impact.

Thank you again to Michael for sharing his expertise, and to everyone who attended, contributed and supported the Casino Night.

OH WHAT A NIGHT!!! $48,563 raised for the Royce Simmons Foundation!

More pictures, details of our prize winners and thank you’s to come, but we wanted to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to everyone who attended our casino night fundraiser, we hope you had as much fun as we did.

The Vegas Nights Productions team once again kept everyone highly entertained, and our music duo Smith & Young definitely brought the party atmosphere.

We can’t wait to bring our event back again next year to support another wonderful local charity.

📣 NBN Meeting Highlights – Federal Budget Update with MLS Financial 📣

What a fantastic turnout at this morning’s Nepean Business Network meeting — a full house for an insightful presentation from Michael Schembri at MLS Financial on the latest Federal Budget changes and what they could mean for local businesses and individuals.

Michael walked members through the key announcements, unpacked potential impacts, and answered a wide range of thoughtful questions from the room. The level of engagement made it clear this is a topic that matters, with plenty of discussion around planning, opportunities, and what businesses should be considering moving forward.

With so much interest (and plenty more questions still to explore!), we’ll be continuing the conversation next week to dive even deeper into the Federal Budget changes and what they mean in practice.

A big thank you to Michael for sharing his expertise and helping make sense of the changes in a practical, easy-to-understand way.
