What our members say about us

McCarthy Plumbing Group People Development Manager Cat McCarthy said: “The McCarthy Plumbing Group joined the Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry in early 2020. We have utilised our membership in many ways, including undertaking courses such as the Mentally Health Workplace training. This training was free and has made such an impact on our workplace. We knew we wanted to ensure our workplace was mentally safe for our team but had no idea where to start. The training included a manager’s workshop, a full team training session and a follow-up survey. This workshop has provided us with the tools and confidence needed to improve our business and its team culture.

“Our team also uses the connect employment benefits program, which is such a fabulous tool for rewarding our team and also for talent acquisition as this is an added benefit in joining our team.”

Fenstration Solutions Australia Managing Director Shane McDuff said: “FSA have utilised VCCI extensively during the last 18 months to help us navigate through numerous business challenges. The information and support provided has certainly given us clear guidance to help make decisive and educated decisions with confidence. We have undergone a course on mental health, which was exceptionally beneficial to all levels of staff and an OH&S audit, which has given us the guidelines to ensure we are complying with all regulations and protecting our staff.

I have greatly appreciated the proactive approach of VCCI and the way in which they are initiating help for our business. I certainly recommend VCCI to any SME as the benefits of membership certainly outweigh the costs.”
