Eligible businesses can now access between $500 and $5,000 for air ventilation and filtration equipment, work or professional services that will help improve air quality indoors.
Under the program, businesses can apply for two types of support including a Ventilation Rebate that is a $500 rebate to take immediate actions such as purchasing an air purifier or hiring a qualified tradesperson to undertake minor services to improve ventilation.
There is also available a Ventilation Grant that comprises of matched grants between $1,000 and $5,000 to invest in larger projects such as building works or engaging professional services or equipment to improve ventilation.
The Victorian government has also released a Small Business Ventilation Guide to help businesses improve ventilation and encourages business owners to read this guide before applying.
Applications will be assessed for eligibility on a first come, first served basis until 11.59pm, Friday, 24 June 2022 or until funds are exhausted.
The Small Business Ventilation Program is part of a $200 million stimulus injection to support businesses recovery from the pandemic.
