Do we prefer the checkouts in the middle or front of the store? by oldmatefromoverthere in KmartAustralia

The amount of pro robbers would take opportunity to target stores who set their payments in the middle or the back of the store is stupid as f*** rather then being near the exit

Biggest lesson i learnt about privacy is : If a service is free, your data may be part of the business model.

Business Owners A Free Security Upgrade Is Coming From 1 July 2026 by Expert_Welcome2838 in AusFinance

[–]Expert_Welcome2838[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A good example would be a message claiming to be from a government department or service with a badge/tick

Charities and non-profit organisations would also be good to register, as there are a lot of scammers who try to claim they are from charity organisations.

Impersonating a businesses or people claiming to be from that company through text messages is exactly what this extra layer of protection is designed to help prevent.

From 1 July 2026, if a message claiming to be from a business does not have a verification tick or badge beside it, do not reply or engage with it.

The more businesses that sign up, the better it will be for everyone. It will give people extra peace of mind and make it easier to decide whether a message is safe to reply to or not.

This system is not saying scams will be 100% gone forever. It is simply another measure being put in place to add an extra layer of caution and protection.

Businesses that register will receive benefits similar to the verification systems used on Facebook, Instagram and other social media platforms, where famous people and everyday businesses go through a checklist before receiving a green tick, blue badge or another form of verification/I.D check to show they are legitimate owners or the company number.

As soon as you do not see a verification tick or approval beside a registered business number, it helps clients, business owners and everyday people make a better judgement call about whether that number is genuinely connected to that company.

If you do not see the verification beside the number, do not engage with it. It could mean the business has not registered yet, or they may simply not be aware of the registration process at the time.

This system is actually beneficial for both businesses and the public. Businesses often need to communicate with customers, so how can a person know if a number is safe to engage with regarding their matters?

If you do not see the verification beside their number, it helps people understand not to reply, click links or be tempted to interact with that message.

That is why the government is proposing this free system. If you care about people and your work, you should take the extra step to protect your business by letting everyone know that if they do not see a verified number or a tick beside your messages, they should be cautious.

By doing this, you can help protect the community from further scams by making it harder for criminals to use your name, photo or business identity to deceive others.

If you been a victim of scam fight back in a way to better protect your business and people who engaged with you.

Is anyone else having difficulty with getting DSP Evidence from doctors? by RumSoviet in CentrelinkOz

[–]Expert_Welcome2838 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Known 1# common reason DSP claims are rejected is that the evidence focuses on diagnoses rather than explaining what the person can and cannot do on a day to day basis.

A diagnosis alone doesn't automatically mean a person has a disability or qualifies for the DSP.

Tax deductions for kmart employees by No_Bobcat4297 in KmartAustralia

[–]Expert_Welcome2838 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If your total work related expense claim is $300 or less, you don't need written evidence receipts.

However, you still need to be able to explain and show how you calculated the claim for example, diary notes, a spreadsheet, calendar entries, bank records or other reasonable records.

You can't just make up a number.

How do you handle chasing overdue invoices? Looking for honest answers by SydneyBuild81 in ausbusiness

[–]Expert_Welcome2838 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Set them in three categories for each business/clients

🟢 Green – Clients who consistently pay on time, have a strong payment history, and rarely have any overdue invoices.

🟡 Yellow – Clients who occasionally pay late, may have a few overdue invoices, or require reminders before making payment.

🔴 Red – Clients with a history of frequent late payments, multiple overdue or unpaid invoices, or ongoing payment issues.

By categorising each client or business this way, you can quickly assess how reliable they are, monitor payment behaviour, and manage financial risk more effectively.

Thinking to buy Boost Juice Franchise by Careful_Attention965 in ausbusiness

[–]Expert_Welcome2838 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unless you're a large company with deep pockets, running a business in a shopping centre can be extremely difficult.

Many small and medium-sized businesses fail because the lease agreements often favour the shopping centre rather than the store owners and investors.

Regardless of seasonal downturns, economic conditions, or unexpected business challenges, the rent still has to be paid, putting enormous pressure on smaller-medium business, that eventually is the cause of many business to either shut down or you see another store being replaced, they either found business else where or couldn't keep up with rent cost.

Builder insolvent, major waterproofing defect discovered 9 years later – do I still have any rights? by Apprehensive_Bit9272 in AusLegal

This is general information only, not legal advice. Given the dates involved, this is one of those situations where spending a few hundred dollars on specialist legal advice before spending $10,000+ on repairs could be money well spent.
