Upper Hunter forum to assist small business apply for COVID-19 support on tonight

BY JARROD MELMETH 

Upper Hunter Businesses who have any concerns around financial support being offered by the State Government are invited to attend a virtual forum on Thursday night.

The virtual event is being hosted by Upper Hunter MP Dave Layzell and will be attended by NSW Minister for Finance and Small Business Damien Tudehope and NSW Small Business Commissioner Chris Lamont.

Mr Layzell says attendees will get the chance to hear from the Minister and the Commissioner as well as ask any questions.

"If this is new to a business, it can be a little bit confronting and confusing for people. This is about supporting businesses and guiding them through the process and ensuring everyone gets their fair share," Mr Layzell said. 

The forum is due to kick off from 6pm. Anyone interested in attending is asked to email Dave Layzell's office.
