The Victorian Government has very recently announced the Specialist Advice Pathway Program which supports established employing businesses who have remained in business despite the challenges presented by Covid.
The program provides $2,000 grant funding to support eligible businesses to access legal professional (or accounting) advice – where the minimum project cost is $2,000 (ex GST).
