TAP OUT? From October 1st, a new nationwide ban on card surcharges will come into effect.

Whilst the general public may appreciate the removal of hidden card fees, the new ban places extra pressure on small businesses, which can no longer pass fees on to customers.

This change to daily trade comes during a time when many small businesses are facing significant challenges. As a small business ourselves, (and one that strives to support the local community), we understand how this could be a tough additional cost for many businesses to pivot through.

She’s known for tackling complex matters with creative thinking and, importantly, explaining her approach in plain English. At the heart of Melanie’s vocation in the law is a desire to help clients understand their rights and obligation, and to feel confident about their options.
