Key Dates in Australia for 2024 Small Business

Throughout 2023, I found myself scouring the web each month for upcoming significant dates for social media – especially in Australia, when so much of the Googleverse is US based. 

So, for 2024 I started planning early and put together my own list of key dates in Australia that could be relevant for small businesses to acknowledge, or have some fun with. 

It’s not a complete list just yet, I keep finding more each time I go looking (and as of today I’ve only done the first quarter of the year!).

If you know of a date that should be included that’s not drop me a line at hello@nogreysuits.com.au and I’ll add it in!
