About

Hello, my name is Rina Cooper and I established Cooper Business Support in 2013 in response to a request from small businesses who recognised that I had the administration and project support skills they needed to help them run their own business. After 30 years in government working within the agriculture/natural resources sector, I took the leap of faith and haven’t looked back.

Since 2013 I have been very fortunate to work with fantastic diverse range of clients on very interesting projects across Australia. It was initially a steep learning curve but with a thirst for learning and improving, I have acquired skills to continuously enhance my business and my client’s business.

I love to streamline and simplify office, administration and communication processes using the latest available web-based tools so that work can continue to happen while you are on the go. I consider myself tech savvy and an early adopter of technology.

I am available beyond the standard 9am -5pm office person but have boundaries around professional business email and phone communication times.
