  • WHS – This is a mind field and unless you devote some time to understanding your responsibilities, you’re walking a tightrope. Are you sure you’re doing all that is necessary? It’s all good until someone gets hurt.

  • Accounting – Good finance knowledge is essential for budgeting planning and business growth. Are your finances being professionally checked and do you know how to read them to make the right decisions?

  • Finance – Are you cash positive? Do you have enough cash to grow or cover yourself in lean times? What happens if you don’t get paid on time?

  • Drug & Alcohol Testing – Ensure you are compliant with WHS and legal obligations

  • Training – Good training will enhance your workforce and save you time and money. Are you trained adequately for the work you’re doing? Are your licenses up to date? How can you perform better? Are your contractors licenses up to date?

  • Contracts – Did you read the last contract you signed? What risks are being passed down by the principle? Are you at risk if something goes wrong? Should a lawyer take a look?

  • Unfair Contracts – Do you know the latest legislation regarding unfair contracts and how to identify them?

What our contractors/members say?

I joined ASA to have someone representing my interest as a small business. By joining I’ve gained access to resources to assist my business which are updated regularly and has also allowed me numerous networking opportunities which have been a real asset

Hayden Scanlo
Director, Choice Plumbing & Gas

“An excellent association that gives a good opportunity to learn more and connect with other businesses associated with the construction industry.

Not only that but it also helps businesses to secure themselves by getting the right advice from the list of shortlisted prepared professional service providers.”

Naveesh Sharma

“Brodie Collection Services SA have been a member/supplier of the ASA since April 2019. We are huge supporters of Subcontractors with getting invoices paid and fair contract terms. Being a member of the ASA provides networking opportunities and to keep updated on legislation and laws effecting subbies in a casual and relaxed environment. It’s a great way to meet people from across many different industries that understand the issues faced by contractors. The price of membership is amazing value for money. Highly recommend joining!”

Naveesh Sharma

“The benefit of ASA contacts, especially in regard to PPSR and legal advice has been instrumental in my business. The networking with other like minded subcontractors has also been important with overcoming industry specific issues.

I have been a member since inception of the ASA and I am proud to be involved in promoting the importance of the Association for all Subcontractors.”

Trudy Marshall

“A fantastic association that is led by quality people who bat for the interests of the subcontractor.”

Ray Hodge

“I believe ASA is essential for any Sub Contractor as for a very low annual investment the Information and workshops in any given year represents outstanding value, particularly compared with other Industry associations.

Since being involved the networking and people that I otherwise would not have met has been mutually beneficial. Most Importantly many more people understand how the PPSR used correctly ensures they are a Secured Creditor in their businesses.

To kick off 2020, I am offering the following to all existing and new ASA members including suppliers and Tradies.
