In compliance with best practice policy and in the spirit of the latest government initiatives, our staff are now operating on a remote basis and remain committed to continuing our full service capabilities.
For some of our clients the transition to a fully digital work environment may present the odd challenge, however we will work through these on a case by case basis.
The Federal Government continues to formulate policy “on the run” with initiatives to address salary supplements, unemployment, SMEs and large business assistance. Similarly, State Government are formulating policy to dovetail into Federal policy initiatives.
Outlined below are direct links to the different economic policies. Please review and see which ones may be applicable to your circumstances.
Please note, these policies are subject to change as the government drills down to determine exact eligibility criteria and the disclosure and reporting obligations commensurate with that policy.
