This new program will help businesses survive the immediate impact of the Omicron wave.

Eligible businesses with a turnover of between $75,000 and $50 million that experienced a minimum 40% decline in turnover in January 2022 – and the first fortnight of February 2022 – can apply for support through this program.

Employing businesses will be eligible to receive 20% of weekly payroll as a lump sum for the month of February, with a minimum payment of $750 per week and a maximum payment of $5000 per week.

Non-employing businesses will receive $500 per week, paid as a lump sum of $2000.

The 2022 Small Business Support Program is for the month of February only.

Businesses will be able to apply through Service NSW from mid-February in 2022.
