Norfolk Island businesses embrace COVID relief payment scheme
There has been a strong initial response to the Australian Government’s financial assistance payments for Norfolk Island businesses affected by the current COVID-19 outbreak and travel restrictions, with eligibility criteria now adjusted to better reflect the period when the local economy first felt the impacts.
Administered by the Norfolk Island Regional Council (NIRC), applications are now open for the relief scheme which is designed to assist local businesses hit hard by the downturn in visitors caused by widespread COVID-19 lockdowns and travel restrictions across Australia.
