Bridging The Boundaries is a national Local Buying Foundation initiative intended to provide business support to small, local and Indigenous businesses. Through this initiative, full and part time business support positions are funded in the regions the LBF operates in New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia.


The exceptional people in these positions are employed through locally based service providers who understand the regional challenges faced by small businesses. These positions can be Business Support Facilitators, Grant Officers and Tourism Development Officers. All positions aim to develop strong partnerships between local industry, business and economic groups ensuring open communication and visibility of the programs..
