Rural Solutions Queensland Inc. (RSQ) is very pleased to announce that the Small Business Financial Counselling Service in Southern Queensland has recently received additional funding from both the Commonwealth and Queensland Government. Through this additional funding our small business counsellors will assist small businesses impacted by drought and manage the impact of the COVID 19 Virus.
RSQ is a not for profit organisation, established in 1998 and we have been providing Rural Financial Counselling Services to farmers and small rural businesses under a joint federal and state government program since 1998.
We now have a team of small business financial counsellors employed to help small business owners during this difficult time. These people bring a wealth of professional and small business skills to the roles and are able to provide practical and positive assistance to business owners as they navigate this very difficult period.
The service is free, independent and confidential. We can assist any small to medium sized businesses (up to 200 employees) requiring assistance due to many climatic and financial factors and more recently the COVID 19 which is impacting very high numbers of small businesses located in our region. Our region covers Rockhampton in the north, through to the western and southern borders of the state.
The Service offers a full range of free financial counselling services, all aimed at providing small business owners with the assistance they need to survive the current difficulties and emerge better placed to face the future.
If any small business in your area requires assistance we can help with the following challenges:

With all dawn services cancelled for the public in 2020, national RSLs are inviting Australians everywhere to commemorate our veterans this ANZAC Day by standing in your living room, front yard, or driveway at 6:00am to Light Up the Dawn. Simply join your neighbours by holding a candle in place, in lieu of attending your regular service.
If you plan on participating, please collect a free LED battery operated taper candle and a small poppy from Kirsty at the Quilpie Shire Council Office.
The RSL have provided an audio file for the Light up the Dawn Service. This RSLQ audio file will recite the Ode, bugle playing of the Last Post, a minutes silence followed by the Rouse and finally the National Anthem. This will be broadcast to the Quilpie community through a sound system which will be located near St Finbarr’s School.
