Perks Coronavirus Update 3 (24 March 2020)

Overview:

We're here for you. As you would all be aware, the impacts of the virus on businesses are being acutely felt across all industries and markets. As the situation evolves, we are working to breakdown the information and share it with you in the briefest of delay.

Over the weekend, the Government released their next steps in stemming the spread and addressing the economic impacts of COVID-19 in Australia.

Given that the environment and impacts surrounding COVID-19 are changing so rapidly, we have devoted all of our resources to breaking down the relevant information for you as quickly as possible. To this end, you will find that we will be increasing the frequency of these email updates as needed.

We’ve also received feedback from some of you that you would like links to previous content on COVID-19 included in subsequent updates, for easier access. You will find the links are included in this email. These links will also be included in updates going forward.

New content in this latest update:

• what the current Federal proposal means for business
• what the current Federal proposal means for individuals
• how leveraging the support of your Bank can help your business

Links to previous content that are still of relevance:

• Banks Providing Relief from COVID-19 Impacts
• Coronavirus: Your obligations as an employer
• Guiding Investment Principles in the midst of a Crisis
• UPDATED: Perks Coronavirus Protective Actions

We are also in the process of building an easy-reference hub for all this information, and further helpful links, which we will update you on as soon as it is ready.

Key to all of us here at Perks, is supporting you to the best of our abilities during this unprecedented time. Should you have any questions or concerns, all of our team members remain at the ready to help, albeit by phone, video conference or email.

Best regards,

Mark Roderick, Managing Director, &
