Victorian businesses are still struggling in the wake of the Omicron surge. And earlier today the state government announced a new $201 million stimulus package to help support them.
It includes big dining and entertainment rebates as well as the return of the popular travel voucher scheme; $30 million has been set aside to inspire Victorians to holiday at home.
“We’re encouraging Victorians to experience the best the state has to offer by going to see a show, having lunch with friends or visiting somewhere new,” minister for industry support and recovery, Martin Pakula, said in a statement.
