BIROs work closely with business, industry and regional stakeholders to promote the Department’s Skilled Visa Program, including the Global Talent Visa Program.

However, there’s a catch: to truly make the most of these chances, your business needs to be ready, with a skilled team in place.

Come along and hear from local legend and business owner, Jase Tatchell as he shares the origin story of Mine Spec Industries!

Enjoy a drink on arrival, pub food and a chilled out vibe in the Beer Garden at the Westlands Hotel.

Thanks to the legends at Mine Spec and Westlands Hotel, this event is only $10 for the community! How good is that?!

BETTER YET – 100% of the ticket price will be donated to The Smith Family in Whyalla! This is a non-profit event.

You will be part of a welcoming and encouraging group of people who are passionate about Whyalla! You don’t need to run your own business BUT you do need to have a desire to contribute to Whyalla’s future in whatever way you feel called to.

Jase will talk candidly about the ups and downs of living in a mining town as unique as Whyalla and how he and his team are navigating the current challenges facing our community and industry. 

Formalities will be finished between 7pm and from there you can chat with other local business owners and community members, mingle and have fun!

The intention of this event is to connect local business owners and inspired residents together. It will also serve to bring awareness to the magnitude of the opportunity ahead for all businesses and residents as the town inevitably grows over the coming years.

There is plenty to be excited about and this event is one of many local business events that will help to develop a positive business culture made up of real locals with families, businesses, challenges and opportunities and most of all a passion to serve the local community through their business/work/service.

We can learn from and support each other on our journeys in a fun and relaxed environment, enjoying the event with an upbeat vibe and some practical tools to help us stay motivated along the way.

Again a massive thanks to Jase, Stef and the Mine Spec team and the owners and managers of Westland who have made this event so affordable through their generous support!

We are excited to meet you and support you in your local business or whatever work you do for the Whyalla community!
