Natural disaster business survey for Wide Bay Burnett

By January 14, 2022No Comments2 min read

The Department of Employment, Small Business and Training would like to connect with business owners impacted by the flooding in the Wide Bay Burnett region to identify what help they need during this challenging time. It is important we can support them to recover and get back on track quickly.

We are conducting a Natural disaster business survey to help us understand the impact of flooding on businesses in the area and what assistance they require.

We encourage you to share the survey with your business contacts in the area to help us provide assistance for them and support their recovery. Any information provided is confidential.

If you have any questions, please contact communication@desbt.qld.gov.au.
