Australian Hairdressing Council CEO, salon owner and industry stalwart Sandy Chong has won the title of National Small Business Champion at the 2023 Council of Small Business Organisations Australia (COSBOA) summit, recognising her impact in advocating for hairdressers, barbers and educators in this space. Sandy accepted the award at the summit this week, highlighting her incredible work in the hairdressing industry.
“The Small Business Champion Award is recognition from the Council of Small Business Organisations of Australia (COSBOA) for continuous advocacy and lobbying, representing our industry and small businesses,” Sandy said. “The Australian Hairdressing Council contributes to countless Government committees and meetings so that our industry has a voice at the table. What’s important is to be heard and this means we must always show up and be present. This has always been our commitment for the betterment of our industry, our businesses and our hairdressers.”
Sandy and the AHC regularly communicate with government organisations on issues pertaining to every facet of the industry, from hairdressing rights to employment capacities, accommodations and more. They also continue to celebrate, educate and survey the industry to better it, while helping with recruitment, sole trader capabilities, community assistance and beyond.
Congratulations to Sandy on this well-deserved award.
