COVID-19 SPECIAL EDITION

The COVID-19 situation is a very serious situation and is constantly evolving.   So is the economic impact as a result in each town, and city across Australia .  It is clear that the impacts are already hitting a number of businesses, particularly in relation to tourism, accommodation and hospitality.   The Federal Government and leading economic and business organisations have warned that the situation for business is likely to get worse.  It's important that you are accessing the latest information from reliable sources and looking at ways to help your business survive.  

This is not cause for panic or panic buying, but does call for everyone in business or elsewhere to stringently follow the recommendations of the health authorities. Here is a link to the most recent requirements of the Federal Government in relation to businesses and individuals, given last night. 

Please follow them
