The NSW Government has introduced a $1 billion COVID rescue package for businesses impacted by the past few months’ high COVID case numbers and self-imposed lockdowns.

Four new measures have been introduced to support businesses affected by restrictions, including financial assistance for the performing arts sector, payroll lump sums, Rapid Antigen Test rebates and commercial tenant and landlord grants.

Businesses are also advised that the ATO has a range of support options available to businesses facing difficult situations, including natural disasters, mental health challenges or financial hardship. Read more here.
