Aussie Painting Contractor Magazine – September 2026

The September 2026 edition of Aussie Painting Contractor Magazine delivers practical information, business advice and industry insights for painting contractors, apprentices and painting and decorating professionals across Australia.

In this issue, we explore how to improve your marketing, convert more enquiries into customers and motivate employees over the long term. We also examine commercial legal protection, legal expense insurance for tradies, managing difficult customers and the importance of looking after your wellbeing while running a busy business.

For the next generation of painters, we look at why apprentices and their future employers can benefit from joining LinkedIn early. A professional online presence can help apprentices showcase their skills, attitude and progress while allowing employers to connect with emerging industry talent.

Editor Nigel Gorman also reflects on being named the Metropolitan VET Teacher or Trainer of the Year at the Queensland Training Awards for the second consecutive year.

Read the September edition for practical ideas to help you strengthen your business, develop your team and prepare for the future of Australia’s painting and decorating industry.
