The Queensland Government has announced financial support for
small and medium businesses impacted by the lockdown order which
commenced at 4pm on Saturday 31 July 2021. We note that certain
large businesses may also be eligible.
Eligible businesses can receive up to $5,000 and the grant will
be paid within two weeks of the business being notified of
approval.
Small and medium businesses
Small and medium businesses are defined as having:
- a turnover of more than $75,000 per annum, and
- and annual payroll in Queensland of up to $10 million.
The grant provides support to employing businesses across
Queensland impacted by the South East Queensland lockdown. These
businesses do not have to be located in South East Queensland, but
the business must have experienced at least a 30% reduction in
turnover as a result of the lockdown.
