Educational FREE Webinar
  • Thu 28 May 2026
  • 07:00AM - 08:00AM
  • Online

Thank you to all members who completed our recent industry survey. Your insights are helping shape how we support you during a particularly challenging time. The results are clear, this is not a single-issue downturn. Businesses across our industry are experiencing compounding pressure, including rising material costs, fuel increases, labour shortages, price volatility, cashflow challenges and contract risk. The survey responses provide a real snapshot of what many of you are dealing with right now. In response, MPAQ has partnered with the team our friends at Xact Accounting to deliver an upcoming online industry update designed to provide practical support.

What we’ll cover:
  • Navigating current cost pressures
  • Cashflow tips for right now
  • Preparing for Payday Super (commencing 1 July)


This session will be held online and delivered by David Holzgrefe, Partner at Xact Accounting, and will focus on practical insights you can apply immediately in your business.

Why attend

MPAQ understands that plumbing businesses are being asked to respond to rising costs, supply uncertainty and changing conditions, often with limited time and little clarity about what comes next.

This session will give industry stakeholders access to timely insights, practical guidance and expert perspectives to help you better understand the current environment, ask questions, and make informed decisions for your business.

Note: This is a member-only event.
