Who is this for?

Overview

The Australian Government is seeking innovative technology solutions to support engagement with modern awards. This grant opportunity will focus specifically on making it easier for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) to find, navigate, and utilise modern awards.
As part of this challenge grantees are required to utilise the Fair Work Commission’s Modern Award Pay Database (MAPD) to ensure up-to-date information on modern awards minimum rates of pay, allowances, overtime and penalty rates data is integrated in the final solution. The Fair Work Commission has released an application programming interface (API) that grantees could consider using in their design solution. Grantees must use the MAPD, but they may also use data from other sources. Challenge participants must have regard to the Fair Work Commission’s MAPD Disclaimer available on the Fair Work Commission website and the MAPD API terms of use and important information statement when using these data sources.
The challenge for supporting the implementation of the Workplace Relations Usability Feasibility grant opportunity is “Using technology to improve the user experience of SMEs engaging with modern awards”.

World Nuclear Energy Day 2023 – December 2nd – Webinar
2023-12-02 09:00 - 11:00 | online, Australia
Showcasing Nuclear Energy in Australia and Around the Globe

Once more, Innovate Australia proudly assumes the role of the official Ambassador for World Nuclear Energy Day in the year 2023. For the third consecutive occasion, we extend a cordial invitation to commemorate the astounding strides in technology and ingenuity within the global nuclear energy sector.
The significance of December 2nd as our chosen date remains twofold. It is a tribute to the momentous day when the first-ever self-sustaining chain reaction was achieved. Additionally, it marks the inauguration of the inaugural commercial-scale electric power reactor. On December 2, 1942, Fermi’s pioneering Chicago Pile-1 reactor achieved the historic milestone of a self-sustaining chain reaction. Furthermore, precisely 15 years later, on December 2, 1957, the first commercial-sized reactor in Shippingport, Pennsylvania, also reached criticality today. Delve deeper into this intriguing history by exploring Chicago Pile-1: A Brick Histor
As the pursuit of zero emissions gains momentum, nuclear energy is steadily gaining a growing number of supporters and advocates in Australia.

Chairman, Innovate Australia

Learntech Conference & Exhibition
2023-11-30 08:30 - 17:00 | Beaumonde On The Point, 306 Riverside Drive, East Perth, WA, 6004, Australia
The future of training and education: Technology & AI

Step into the future of education at the LearnTech Conference & Exhibition, where the worlds of education and technology converge.

We’re in the future! FaceTime calls, social media, wireless phones were all once science fiction, but are now everyday realities. This year, we’ve witnessed the meteoric rise of Artificial Intelligence, surpassing even our wildest imaginations. As educators, it’s an exhilarating time. We have abundant, user-friendly technologies at our disposal. Our main challenge is no longer access to technology, but a revision of our pedagogy. Many teaching
practices were shaped by a previous generation limited by technology. Now, we can reassess the evolving needs of students, rethink workflows, and leverage new tools to enhance teaching. This session will encourage the strategic use of these tools for improved efficiency, feedback, engagement, and participation in teaching and learning

Date: Thursday 30 November 2023
Time: 8am – 4:30pm followed by networking drinks until 5:30pm
Venue: Beaumonde On The Point, Level 1, 306 Riverside Drive Perth WA
Call sponsors & exhibitors: We are now taking applications for sponsors and exhibitors for LearnTech 2023. For more information download the Event Prospectus here or email conferences@idc-online.com

Lean Startup First-Timers: Getting Started with Customer Development!
2023-11-29 18:00 - 19:30
This introductory “Getting Started” meeting is for founders (and potential founders) who are first-timers to Lean Startup Perth (or those who wish to get a refresher on Lean Startup). It’s best for you to attend one of these meeting before attending a “Getting On” meeting (although it’s not required).
Hello Perth Founders and Friends,
Have you got a great startup idea? Or have you already started a new business and it’s not going so well? Don’t waste any more time or money on building an app or product, getting PR, or even marketing. Come along to Lean Startup Perth and we’ll help you find a successful business.
This “Getting Started” meeting will introduce you the “big ideas” in Lean Startup and Customer Development. Did you know that Lean Startups don’t do sales, don’t do marketing and don’t do product development? Well, what do they do then? Come along and you will find out that and more,
Created by Eric Ries and Steve Blank, the Lean Startup with Customer Development approach is a radically new way of doing startups. It changes everything about startups (more than most founders, service providers and investors realise). It changes the very meaning of what it is to be a startup.
We suggest new members come along to one of these “Getting Started” meetings to learn about Lean Startup with Customer Development before coming the to “Getting On” meetings. This “Getting Started” meetings are repeated but will only run if there are enough new members attending.
We welcome anyone keen to learn about Lean Startup with Customer Development.
All the best for success!
Cheers,
Ashley.
Organiser, Lean Startup Perth.
