Welcome to Edition 3 of AusIndustry's online bulletin, AusFocus.
This month sees the launch of two new ways to interact with AusIndustry: our Facebook and Twitter pages. Subscribing to our Twitter feed is an opportunity to get short, timely updates as they happen – find out when funding becomes available, be alerted when new programs are announced and receive updates on other Government programs for your business. Our Facebook page is another way to stay updated as things happen.
