Disaster support for business

The Department of Employment, Small Business and Training would like to connect with business owners impacted by recent rainfall and flooding to identify what help they need during this challenging time. It is important to support to recover and get back on track quickly.
 
DESBT is conducting a Natural disaster business survey to help them understand the impact of rainfall and flooding on businesses in the South East Queensland area as well as Maryborough, the Fraser Coast and Toowoomba to determine the assistance business requires.
 
This survey will remain open as long as required to enable time for impacted businesses to respond.
 
If you have any questions, please contact communication@desbt.qld.gov.au
 

Small Business Disaster Hub


Visit the Small Business Disaster Hub to access a range of resources to help businesses respond and recover following a natural disaster.
