To assist South Australian individuals and businesses who suffer a significant loss of income or have been forced to close as a result of the state’s seven-day lockdown, the Marshall Liberal Government has offered some emergency cash grants as part of a major financial assistance package.
Please see the below information that might be of assistance to you during this time.
As we enter into stage five restrictions for the next 7 days, we would like to let you know that we are here for you should you wish to discuss any concerns you may have with trying to continue with “Business as Usual” as much as possible during these testing times.
Our friendly and helpful team are all on board working remotely so we can continue to provide you with the services you require. We are also mindful of the impact of being isolated at home, especially if living alone, and we are here for a chat if you need. We understand how difficult this is for all, and we would like to reassure you that we will do all that we can to support you during this difficult time.

As the events of COVID-19 have demonstrated – and indeed, this week’s major news around state-sponsored ransomware attacks and data theft directly on Australia – our personal privacy, the protection of our financial information and even our very identities, has never been more crucial.
It has become so important to ensure we’re doing everything we can to protect ourselves from those threats that would have our privacy opened up on the dark web. Business owners have an even greater responsibility for both their own and their client’s privacy.
Yet so often, not enough is being done, because so often, people don’t know where to turn.
