Who to contact with trade or investment enquiries
Economic response to COVID-19
The Australian Government has set aside $1 billion through the COVID-19 Relief and Recovery Fund to support communities, regions and industries most significantly affected by the economic impacts of coronavirus, including those heavily reliant on sectors such as aviation, agriculture, tourism, arts and education.
The $1 billion Relief and Recovery Fund forms part of the Australian Government’s broader economic response to COVID-19 to provide timely support to affected workers, businesses, sectors and the community. The Deputy Prime Minister administers the Fund.
Visit business.gov.au for the latest information about government support for Australian businesses, including through the COVID-19 Relief and Recovery Fund.
