If your business has been affected either directly or indirectly by the floods or other disasters (ie gas outage, landslides, road closures, flash flooding, slow rising waters etc) and this is having an impact on your ability to operate your business and generate an income, this is what you should do: call a business concierge at Service NSW for Business to find out if there is any support available. A concierge will be able to walk you through any funding or immediate aid that may be on offer.
According to Jodie Dietsch, Relationship Manager – Western Region at Service NSW, should direct financial support not be available immediately, your business details will be captured and should funding be released the concierge will be able to reach out and provide you with the relevant information. “Capturing this data may also help in determining where small business pockets in your local government area have been heavily impacted and will aid us in advocating for support for your business community.”
As an impacted business owner, call 13 77 88 and ask to speak directly with a business concierge for any assistance that may be available.
