- Crisafulli Government leads coordinated tariff response to shield Queensland exporters from global trade shocks.
- More than 200 businesses engaged across key regions accessing the support Labor failed to provide.
- Practical tools, expert advice, and direct access to decision-makers through targeted roundtables.
The Crisafulli Government is delivering a coordinated, State-wide response to support Queensland exporters impacted by recent US trade tariff changes to make sure local businesses have the tools, advice, and access they need to stay competitive in a volatile global market.
Trade and Investment Queensland's Tariff Response Unit has engaged more than 200 businesses through roundtables in key regions, with final sessions scheduled in Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and Longreach.
The Crisafulli Government is stepping in to build the resilience and preparedness Queensland exporters need to weather global trade shocks with practical support, expert advice, and direct engagement.
TIQ's international and regional teams can provide tailored support, ensuring Queensland exporters are never left to face global headwinds alone.
Minister for Finance, Trade, Employment and Training Ros Bates said the Government was focused on strengthening Queensland's export sector and ensuring businesses were not left behind.
"These tariffs are creating real pressure for our exporters, and we're responding with action," Minister Bates said.
"Labor had years to build trade resilience and support market diversification but didn't.
"We're making sure Queensland businesses have the support they need now and into the future."
TIQ CEO Justin McGowan said the sessions were proving vital for exporters navigating complex international trade conditions.
"Feedback has shown there is an absolute need for these sessions to share insights and advice," Mr McGowan said.
"Our expert team has been working with exporters and delivering a range of online tools, including a tariff calculator, to help exporters make the best decision for their business."
