New Arrivals to the region... A quick survey for Business and Industry!
As our region's population continues to grow, Mackay Regional Council and the Regional Social Development Centre are conducting research to better understand the requirements of new arrivals to our region.
As part of the research, we are keen to better understand how business and industry support staff (new arrivals) who are new to our region, as well as, other factors such as retention rates and cost impacts when staff who are new arrivals find it difficult to settle in the region.
Your advice and support is vital and we encourage you to assist our research by taking five minutes to complete our quick, anonymous online survey.
