Small and medium-sized businesses within South Australia will
soon be able to gain access to the new South Australian COVID-19
Additional Business Support Grant. This grant will deliver roughly
an extra $40 million in support to an estimated 19,000 regional
businesses in eligible industries, including hospitality, tourism,
gyms, performing art venues, artists and performers and
transport.
The package is jointly funded between the Commonwealth and the
South Australian Governments, with the state government to
administer the program.
The new package includes:
- $3,000 cash grants for employing businesses and $1,000 for
non-employing businesses (e.g., sole traders) in eligible industry
sectors that have experienced a decrease in turnover of 30% or more
over a two-week period because of the COVID-19 trading restrictions
introduced from 28 July 2021.
