The $20 million Small Business Digital Adaption Program is now open to help small businesses, sole traders and micro businesses build digital capability in their day-to-day operations.

The program is part of the Victorian Government’s $3 billion Business Resilience Package.

Through the program, eligible businesses will be able to trial and then receive access to digital products, tools and training they can use to build digital capability in their day-to-day operations. Products currently available to businesses through this program include website, e-commerce, finance and digital business management tools.

Businesses will be able to register, and trial selected digital products from suppliers who have partnered with the Victorian Government, then choose one of these products to purchase. Once businesses have purchased a product, they can apply for a rebate of $1,200 to access the product for 12 months. The program also offers free digital adaptation training and workshops to help registered businesses adopt and implement online tools in their business.

Program guidelines, full details on eligibility and how to register are available on the Small Business Digital Adaptation Program webpage. Registrations are now open and will close on 28 February 2021 or when funds are exhausted, whichever is sooner. Information is also available on this page for digital product or service suppliers interested in partnering with the Victorian Government on this program.

There are also many other Victorian Government support initiatives to help businesses during this challenging time. Find out more atcoronavirus.vic.gov.au. 

Your members can also access the Upskill My Business program for free online courses, live and on-demand events and a range of business resources to help prepare for a strong recovery.

Thank you for your ongoing support and advice during what has been a very challenging year. Your assistance in circulating this information to your members is much appreciated.

Kind regards
