Businesses urged to register for dine & discover stimulus

09th Feb 2021

Eligible businesses across the region are being encouraged to register and participate in the State Government’s new major economic stimulus program, Dine & Discover NSW. The program will provide hip pocket relief by offering every NSW resident, aged 18 years and over, four $25 vouchers, to spend in participating businesses, such as pubs, clubs, cafes and restaurants.
Member for Northern Tablelands Adam Marshall said that the program has been created as economic boost for dining, arts and tourism businesses, which have been impacted by COVID-19.
Businesses can register now online through their MyServiceNSW Business Profile, with operators able to track the progress of the application through that same portal. All eligible businesses will receive an email from Service NSW with details on how to register. Service NSW is also launching a specialised app, so businesses can scan and track voucher usage over the life of the program.
The vouchers issued to each person will be divided into two categories:
• Two $25 vouchers to be used for eating at restaurants, cafes, bars, pubs and clubs from Monday to Thursday, excluding public holidays; and
• Two $25 vouchers to be used for entertainment and recreation, including cultural institutions, live music and arts venues, available 7 days a week, excluding public holidays.
The vouchers can only be used within businesses that have implemented a COVID Safety Plan and are registered as COVID Safe.
