State and Federal Disaster support — March 2022

The following links are to the latest state and federal government plans, schemes, programs, and initiatives to help businesses and individuals manage the impact of yet further national hardships.

Disaster resources updated 01-03-2022

We have added some new links under States and Territories that help further outline what each is offering.

Let’s hope the floods in NSW and QLD, on top of continued Covid-19 pandemic, do not mean more need for extra help into the future. These links are themselves always being updated by the relevant government and semi-government departments and agencies and other organisations.

Centralising all these resources on our website means it’s easier for our clients to stay on top of what is available, which will also make it easier to take action and avoid missing out on initiatives that will help.
