The grants will provide $5000 to employing small and medium businesses and large businesses in the hospitality and tourism sectors across Queensland that have been impacted by the recent SEQ or Cairns lockdowns - subject to those businesses meeting the criteria of a 30% reduction in turnover as a result of the lockdowns as well as meeting other eligibility criteria.

You can create your QRIDA profile here now.
- eligible businesses who apply for a grant during the 3-month application period will receive a grant - and businesses or NFP organisations do not have to be located in one of the lockdown areas to be eligible.
