Business Victoria outlines key services that may be of interest to fitness professionals and businesses.


The Business Support Fund - Expansion Program is available to support employing businesses that have been highly impacted by the return to Stay at Home restrictions.

Non-employing businesses may be able to access support through the Business Advisory and Wellbeing Program. Details of this program will be available soon on the Business Support Package page available here.

We understand this is a very difficult time for Victorians and businesses as a result of Coronavirus (COVID-19) and encourage looking into the other available stimulus programs.
