2025 Australian Small Business Champion Awards

What a night to remember!

On Friday 28th March, we had the absolute pleasure of celebrating our place as a finalist in the 2025 Australian Small Business Champion Awards, right in the heart of Sydney, surrounded by so many inspiring individuals and businesses who have turned ambition into achievement.

The energy in the room was incredible and it was a proud reminder of just how far our business has come and will continue to grow with passion, purpose and the right people.

We're so grateful to be recognised among such a brilliant community and couldn’t be prouder of our team and the work we do at The Payroll Collective.

A huge thank you to the awards team for an unforgettable evening. Here’s to chasing big dreams and making them happen!
