โIt's important to remember that if you don't quite fit the standard eligibility criteria - for example your business wasn't yet established or you were experiencing unusual trading conditions in 2019 - that you contact Service NSW directly as they may be able to provide alternative eligibility criteria as we have seen with a number of our business clients.โ
โWe will continue to update you as more information becomes available, as the situation changes, and if/as support packages are further upgraded.โ
