We welcome the government’s announcement that it will provide $6.15 billion in concessional capital to support Australian businesses affected by global disruptions.

We understand that the government and its agencies are now working through the details of how the three programs it has announced will operate. 

We will share details with customers as soon as they are available. In the meantime, if you or your business has been impacted by recent global events, there are options and support available.
