Treasurer Dominic Perrottet encouraged businesses to register early so they are prepared when the program goes live in coming months.
“We’ve heard loud and clear just how tough it has been for businesses across NSW. This program will reinvigorate local economies and provide customers with hip pocket relief,” Mr Perrottet said.
Minister for Customer Service Victor Dominello said Service NSW is launching a specialised app for participating businesses, so they can scan and track voucher usage over the life of the program.
“After applying online, NSW businesses will be able to track the progress of the application through their MyServiceNSW Business Profile. Business owners will then receive a step-by-step process on how to get ready,” Mr Dominello said.
Businesses will be paid automatically – typically – within five business days for the value of vouchers redeemed.
Residents can download the Service NSW app now in anticipation of the rollout.
Phase one includes a pilot at The Rocks and Broken Hill in early February. The pilot will then be extended to the Northern Beaches, Sydney CBD and Bega Valley Shire Council, which is expected to commence in late February. Statewide rollout is expected to commence in March and run until 30 June 2021.
Every NSW resident aged 18 and over will be eligible for four $25 vouchers worth $100 in total: two $25 vouchers for eating in at restaurants, cafes, bars, pubs and clubs from Monday to Thursday, and two $25 vouchers for entertainment and recreation including cultural institutions, live music, and arts venues, available 7 days a week (both streams exclude public holidays).
The vouchers can only be used within COVID-safe registered businesses. For more information on Dine & Discover NSW business registration and eligibility, visit www.nsw.gov.au.
