Campaigns
Every campaign we run is grounded in real evidence from real operators. These are focused advocacy efforts targeting the specific regulations, costs, and policy failures that are making it harder to run a hospitality business in Australia.

How Campaigns Work
From identifying issues on the ground to presenting evidence in Parliament — a rigorous, transparent process designed to deliver results.
Identify the Issue
Through direct engagement with hospitality operators across Australia, we identify the regulatory burdens and policy failures that are most impacting business viability.
Gather Evidence
We collect real-world data from owners — financial impacts, compliance costs, time burdens, and operational consequences — to build an irrefutable case for change.
Build the Case
Our research team analyses evidence, quantifies industry-wide impacts, and produces policy briefs that meet the evidentiary standards expected by government.
Advocate for Change
Armed with data, we engage directly with ministers, regulators, and parliamentary committees to present solutions that benefit operators and the broader economy.
Propose a Campaign
Is there a regulation, fee structure, or policy that is directly undermining the viability of your business? If you believe it affects the broader industry, we want to hear about it.
Every campaign begins with a single operator raising a concern. We evaluate proposals based on the breadth of impact, the strength of available evidence, and the feasibility of achieving policy change.
