The state government will extend business support at least to 30 November during the re-opening, but payment levels will be reduced.

Some small businesses may find that re-opening is not financially viable at first and there is a need to provide support beyond this date in certain circumstances.

Unfortunately federal financial support payments are set to be reduced and then stopped, with automatic payments stopping at 70 percent vaccination and payments phasing out at 80 percent > HERE.
