Growing our economy

We are dedicated to growing our economy to create more jobs and investment in our state and unlock economic opportunities by supporting local businesses to start up and grow. South Australia has the lifestyle people are seeking. Adelaide is one of world’s safest and most liveable cities, it’s affordable, easy to navigate with dynamic culture, food and wine scenes.

Now we’re working to match our lifestyle with a strong economy, giving South Australians and newcomers more reasons to live and work here.

What that means for businesses – new and established – is more support to help you start, succeed and grow.

Our small-to medium businesses are the single most important engine of our economy, driving South Australian growth and jobs. While you’re doing the heavy lifting to power the economy, the State government is partnering with you our Growth State policy to help you develop the tools and confidence to grow your operations, generate jobs and expand into lucrative new markets.
