Business and Jobs Support Fund

314 The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (14 October 2020). As at 13 October 2020, how many grants had been paid from the Business and Jobs Support Fund?

(a) To whom were the grants paid?

(b) How much was each grant?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier): I have been advised:

In March 2020 in response to the impacts of COVID-19, the government announced the establishment of a $300 million Business and Jobs Support Fund. As announced in the 2020-21 Budget the government has subsequently added a further $230 million to the fund, bringing the total value of the Business and Jobs Support Fund to $530 million.

The Budget Measures Statement (pages 7 and 8) released as part of the 2020-21 budget outlined all of the approvals and expected timing of total payments from the Business and Jobs Support Fund.
