Applications are now open for the Business Costs Assistance Program Round Two July Extension and the Licensed Hospitality Venue Fund 2021 July Extension.

The extended programs give eligible businesses that did not apply in June, or have since become eligible, an opportunity to apply for the equivalent of July Top-Up Payments.

The Business Costs Assistance Program Round Two July Extension assists small to medium-sized employing and non-employing businesses in eligible sectors that were impacted by the July lockdown restrictions, and who have not already received support through the Business Costs Assistance Program Round Two. Eligible businesses with an annual payroll of up to $10 million can receive a grant of $4800.

Application are open until Friday 13 August 2021.

The Licensed Hospitality Venue Fund 2021 July Extension supports licensed restaurants, pubs, clubs, hotels, cafes, and reception centres that are registered to serve food and alcohol and have been impacted by the July lockdown restrictions. Eligible liquor licensees will receive an invitation from Business Victoria to apply for a grant of $7200 per premises.

Please check the eligibility criteria carefully to confirm your business is eligible for one of the two programs.
