2022 Small Business Support Program


If you’re a business, sole trader or not-for-profit organisation in NSW and you've been impacted by the Omicron wave of COVID-19, you may be eligible for a payment under the 2022 Small Business Support Program.

The program provides cash flow support to help eligible businesses survive the impacts of COVID-19 and maintain their NSW employee headcount.


Pandemic Leave Disaster Payment

Support if you can't earn an income because you or someone you’re caring for has to self-isolate or quarantine due to COVID-19.


Insurance through Super

 Before consolidating your super accounts, check with your fund to see if there are fees or whether you will lose important insurance such as life, total and permanent disability, and income protection.
