The State Government and VECCI have combined their efforts to develop the VECCI Business Relief Fund to assist those businesses who have been affected indirectly by the devasting bushfires this past summer.

While Government financial assistance is being made available to businesses directly destroyed or damaged by fire, those indirectly impacted are not eligible for assistance.

The State Government has pledged $500,000 to kick start the fund which can be contributed to by concerned businesses anywhere.

An overview of the fund and how you can contribute is contained in the following documents:
