identifies the RDA Wheatbelt activities and priorities.
Building Better Businesses in the Wheatbelt
The Wheatbelt has no shortage of capable, hardworking businesses. What many of them lack is the time and resources to step back and build the kind of documented, consistent systems that help them grow, reduce risk, and bring on staff without everything depending on one or two key people.
The Wheatbelt Industry Readiness Project is designed to help with exactly that.
Working with small and medium businesses across the region, RDA Wheatbelt is supporting owners to assess how their operations currently run and make practical, lasting improvements, all at no cost to the business. The Program uses the ISO9001 Quality Management System framework as a guide to creating a sensible business management structure.
The Supply Chain Opportunity
A better-run business is also a more competitive one. As industries like defence, mining and green energy continue to grow across Western Australia, the businesses best placed to win supply chain contracts – both big and small – will be those that can demonstrate consistent processes and reliable delivery. The groundwork you lay to improve your own operations turns out to be exactly what larger clients and procurement teams are looking for.
Where We Are Now
The project is underway, with a small group of businesses already enrolled and working through the early stages of their systems assessment. We look forward to sharing the wins as the program develops.

University Study Hubs help students in regional, remote and outer suburban areas access higher education without having to leave their community. They provide in person student support and campus-style facilities for students who study.
The Wheatbelt region is unique in that there is not one central location in which one centre can be established that provides equitable access to all students across the region. The Wheatbelt model is an overarching virtual campus with co-working study hub spaces to support diversity, equity of access and participation of students with improved student outcomes.
Each hub has dedicated study areas with monitors, computers and printer, access to meeting rooms and kitchenette facilities. Student Support Officers are employed to provide in person support.
ANYONE from ANY Australian University or TAFE studying under graduate and post graduate courses or Diploma and Advanced Diploma courses are eligible to access these free services.
