On 31 August, The Australian and ACT Governments announced an expansion of the COVID-19 Business Support Grants to align with the extension of the ACT lockdown to 17 September.
Anyone who has made an application does not need to make a new application – the new payments will be automatically applied if you are eligible.
The ACT COVID-19 Business Support Grants will deliver the support of $20,000 for employing businesses and $7,500 for non-employing businesses over the five-week lockdown period where those businesses’ turnover has declined by 30 per cent or more as a result of the COVID-19 public health measures. This program is jointly funded by the ACT and Australian Governments.
