WHERE TO GET HELP

Sole traders and other selfemployed people can consider federal government disaster payments of $750 a week – visit servicesaustralia.gov.au.

Business owners can search their state’s business support website for details of grants and other Covid-19 assistance.

“The information is not always up to date but it’s the most up-to-date information you can get,” Small Business Australia’s Bill Lang says.

People can also speak with their accountant or business coach, as national accounting bodies are keeping their members up to date on all the developments.
