Under the tough new Stage 4 restrictions in place, many businesses in Melbourne and Mitchell Shire have been forced to shut down, or to operate under a severely reduced capacity.
To soften the financial burden, the Victoria Premier has announced one-off grants available to eligible businesses.
The Business Support Fund โ Expansion program, will give:
- $10,000 to employing businesses in metropolitan Melbourne and Mitchell Shire
- $5000 to employing businesses in regional local government areas
This is in addition to the previous Business Support Fund (applications for this closed June 1) so if you already received this, you will not need to re-apply.
Successful applicants will automatically receive this additional allocation.
Applications for the program will be extended until September 14.
Eligible businesses seeking to access these funds, can apply for the grant here.
