Australia Takes Action Against Misinformation! 🇦🇺🌐

The Australian government is rolling out new legislation that could fine social media companies up to 5% of their global revenue for not tackling misinformation effectively.

This significant step apparently aims to “safeguard” public health and election integrity by holding platforms accountable for the harmful content they allow.

Communications Minister Michelle Rowland emphasised that “doing nothing is not an option,” highlighting widespread public support for addressing misinformation.

What are your thoughts—should social media platforms face stricter penalties for spreading misinformation? Or is this censorship gone too far? Would love to know your thoughts on this topic.

I’m thrilled to share that my accountant (and fellow naturopath) Victoria Brennan is running a FREE 7-Day Profit First for Pracs Challenge! 🙌

I’ll be taking part myself because I’ve been waiting for Victoria to launch her course for years to set up my own businesses with Profit First.

It’s an amazing system to help small businesses master their finances and achieve long-term growth. I’ve worked with Victoria for years and can’t recommend her enough.

Join me in this challenge on Tues Oct 29th to Tues Nov 5th, and take the first step towards financial clarity!

Guess what I’ve been working on! (LAUNCHING TOMORROW!)

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has proposed a ban on social media for minors, driven by concerns over its impact on children. 📲

He stated, “We know social media is causing social harm.”

While this move has received support from many parents, experts warn it could push kids to less regulated platforms, increasing risks.

Additionally, questions about the effectiveness of age verification and data privacy have been raised ⚠️

Backed by state premiers and the opposition, this proposal will be discussed in a summit led by New South Wales and South Australian governments, gathering leaders and experts to explore solutions.

Hello, ATMS members! I’m excited to share that I’m running for re-election to the ATMS Board.

It’s been an absolute honour serving you over the past three years, working on important committees such as Complaints, Finance Audit and Compliance, and Academic Review. I’ve also chaired the Regulatory Committee for the last year 3 years and in 2024 stepped into the role of Vice President.

With over 17 years as a business lawyer and my passion for natural wellness, I’ve worked hard to ensure that our practitioners receive the legal protection and support they deserve. As a business owner myself, I also understand the day to day pleasures and pains of running a business in the current economic climate and how important it is to support each other. As a practitioner, I too am called to the important work of helping clients to improve their health in a world where it seems less and less possible to be healthy.

I am passionate about protecting the natural medicine industry and its traditional practices which is why I do not support registration under AHPRA. I believe the current regulatory regime is far more suitable for the natural medicine industry striking a balance between protecting the public and protecting and preserving the nuances of the natural medicine industry.

ATMS has many exciting projects coming up including innovative ways to support our members not only by advocating for natural wellness as an industry but also helping you build thriving and successful businesses. I’m ready and eager to continue this important work, and I’d be honoured to have your vote.

You can find my official bio in the PDF attached to the election email sent on 1 October from 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗸@𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴.𝗰𝗼𝗺.𝗮𝘂.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out!

Warmly,

𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹 𝗥𝘆𝗮𝗻

(Business Lawyer, Naturopath, and advocate for the health and legal needs of our community)

While free contract templates may seem like a tempting option, they can actually put your practice at risk.

These generic documents may not adequately protect your interests or comply with Australian laws and regulations.

A one-size-fits-all approach simply doesn’t cut it when it comes to safeguarding your business.

Here’s why you should avoid relying on free templates:

1. **Lack of Customisation:** Generic templates may not address your specific needs, leaving you vulnerable to legal issues.
2. **Outdated Information:** Free templates often don’t reflect the latest laws and regulations, exposing you to unnecessary risks.
3. **Insufficient Protection:** They may not include essential clauses or could contain loopholes that can be exploited.
4. **Potential Legal Issues:** Using poorly drafted contracts can lead to costly disputes and lawsuits.

Don’t take chances with your business contracts. Invest in professional legal templates tailored to your practice and compliant with Australian or New Zealand laws.

It’s a small price for the peace of mind that comes with knowing your practice is protected!
