Complete the National Retail Sentiment Survey

Responses to the National Retail Sentiment Survey will close in just two weeks.

As the peak trading season approaches, many retailers are navigating a challenging environment. With interest rates holding steady but the economic outlook remaining uncertain, it is vital to hear directly from businesses about the issues affecting them.

The National Retail Association represents over 6,500 members, including retailers and quick service restaurants, advocating for their interests at all levels of government, in the Fair Work Commission, and in the media. The association is preparing to oppose any further interest rate hikes and harmful government policies—but to do this effectively, input from members is needed.

By taking 5 minutes to complete the National Retail Sentiment Survey, respondents will provide the association with the insights needed to shape its advocacy on behalf of the industry. Feedback is key to ensuring that the association’s efforts remain relevant and impactful.

All responses are confidential, and participants will receive a copy of the survey report, offering valuable insights to guide business decisions during this critical period.

The National Retail Association values this input—please take a moment to share thoughts before the survey closes on Friday, 1 November 2024.
