If your business usually operates in the effected area and has experienced a downturn of 30% or more in revenue within the last three months, you could be eligible for a $10,000 grant which could help you:

• pay for your usual business costs such as utilities, rent and staff salaries
• seek financial advice to support your business’ recovery
• make changes to your business so it can operate effectively after the floods
• develop your business and extend reach through marketing and communications
• improve your resilience and future-proof your business for any future challenges
• retain your staff, stay connected and support your existing workforce.

• be a small business or not-for-profit organisation with less than 30 full-time employees (see the guidelines to check the definition)
• hold a valid Australian Business Number (ABN)
• operate your business within the defined disaster area (see the guidelines to check your area)
• experience a 30% or more decline in revenue within the three months from October to December 2022, or January to March 2023, in comparison with the same time the previous year
