We need your feedback!

We invite our residential building and renovations members who are not generally permitted to work inside occupied premises during lockdowns, to participate in this important survey regarding the recently announced Victorian and Commonwealth Government's COVID support funding for small businesses. 
 
Your feedback is vital to help form a crucial part of Master Builders Victoria (MBV's) ongoing advocacy work, performed on your behalf. 
 
Currently, the Victorian and Commonwealth Governments have confirmed that small businesses with a payroll of up to $10 million who have experienced a 70 per cent or greater reduction in revenue will be eligible for grants of up to $10,000. 

The State Government has indicated that it will continue to work with us, and other sections of the building and construction industry that are impacted by the issue such as plumbers and electricians, to devise the criteria for this new support package. The new funding criteria will be vital to ensure support is provided to these businesses, if and when, future lockdowns are implemented.
It is important to note that, whilst MBV will have an input into this process, the final criteria will be set by Government. 
 
Your contribution to this survey will further assist MBV to gather data and help us present an evidence-based case to Government as they determine fair and appropriate eligibility criteria for the funding. 

This survey closes at COB on Wednesday 18 August 2021. Don't miss out to have your say!
