Not An IT Department In Sight
These practical workshops are designed for business owners and teams who want to protect their business, save time and use technology more confidently — no jargon, no assumed knowledge.
You don't need to understand cybersecurity.
You don't need to be an AI expert.
No technical background required — just your business.
Four practical online workshops, built around the real problems regional NSW businesses actually face — not another generic webinar.
Built Around Regional NSW, Not Just Available To It
Every example, scenario and case study is drawn from businesses regional NSW will recognise — motels, cafés, tradies, farms, retailers, accountants and tourism operators, not city head offices.
Central West
Orange, Bathurst, Dubbo, Parkes, Forbes and surrounding areas.
Riverina
Wagga Wagga, Griffith and surrounding areas.
New England / Northern Inland
Tamworth, Armidale, Moree and surrounding areas.
Mid North Coast / Northern Rivers
Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie, Lismore, Ballina, Tweed and surrounding areas.
If You Run A Small Business, This Is For You
Small-business owners, family businesses, managers, office managers, bookkeepers and admin staff — across every regional industry.
Not designed for: cybersecurity professionals, IT managers, large corporations or technical teams. If you don't have — or need — an IT department, you're in the right place.
Find The Gaps Before Someone Else Does
Two practical sessions covering the everyday digital-security decisions regional businesses make every day — email, passwords, payments, suppliers and scams.
Is Your Business Actually Cyber Safe?
A practical cyber health check for regional NSW small businesses
Would You Spot The Scam?
Phishing, invoice fraud, impersonation and payment scams targeting small businesses
Practical AI, Not AI Hype
Two sessions that move from "what could AI actually do for my business" to a real, trialable workflow you can use on Monday morning.
AI For Business: Start Using AI Without The Hype
Practical AI for everyday small-business work
AI At Work: Save Time, Work Smarter And Use AI Safely
Turn AI into practical business workflows without putting your information at risk
This Isn't A Webinar. Here's What Actually Happens.
Every session follows the same practical structure — built around a real business problem, not a slide deck.
Opening business problem or scenario
Core teaching
Real examples & demo
Live participant activity
Practical action planning
Live Q&A
We don't spend time introducing Obelisk — this time is yours. Every session includes a downloadable, keep-forever business tool.
"We are proud to be hosting this workshop as part of the 2026 NSW Small Business Month program in partnership with the NSW Government."
Every session opens with a Welcome and an Acknowledgement of Country, followed by clear housekeeping so you know exactly how to ask questions and get the most from your time.
Not Four Webinars. A Regional Business Capability Program.
Practical
You leave with something usable — a checklist, plan or map, not just notes.
Relevant
Examples relate to real regional businesses — motels, cafés, tradies, farms and firms.
Accessible
No technical background required, ever.
Regional
Regional businesses recognise themselves in every example.
Action-Oriented
You know exactly what to do the moment the session ends.
Credible
Useful, professional and responsible — not a pitch in disguise.
