South Australia, Help is on the Way

I am astounded by the level of adaptability I’ve seen from South Australian business owners across a range of industries. It reinforces how resilient we as South Australians are during these times of great uncertainty.  This week has been another busy week as we help you navigate your way through the COVID-19 crisis. In addition to our second Business Resilience Webinar on mental health, we led three Virtual Summits with leaders of industry associations from across the State. These discussions are already reaping rewards with connections, ideas and networking assisting different industries with solving the problems you are facing. I encourage you to continue to visit our dedicated COVID-19 webpage as we post the latest information you need to know around the Federal Government’s JobKeeper package. You can now also register for our third Webinar - JobKeeper Payments, let’s break it down, a must not miss event, mark it in your diary for next Wednesday 15 April. We continue to advocate strongly on your behalf to all governments, including on rent relief measures and we welcome the State Government’s emergency $10,000 cash payments for small businesses. The year 2020 will define the South Australian business community and I know that we can emerge stronger and more resilient than before. Stay strong everyone. Martin.
