How Central West Residents Can Get A FREE $100 Voucher!
Yes!
Here is all the details you need to know about how you can get your hands on some free vouchers as according to the NSW Government website.
To help stimulate the NSW economy and keep businesses in business, the NSW Government has created the Out & About Scheme to support local hospitality, arts and tourism providers across the state.
This program will be rolled out across the state from late January 2021.
How does the Out & About Scheme work?
If you are a NSW resident and aged 18 and over, you will be eligible to receive four $25 digital vouchers ($100 in total).
The vouchers can be used at participating eligible NSW businesses and venues who are registered as COVID safe.
The Out & About Scheme will be divided into two categories:
- dining out – two vouchers can be used to purchase food at venues such as restaurants, cafes, pubs and clubs.
- going out – two vouchers can be used for activities, such as visiting cultural institutions, performing arts, cinemas and amusement parks..
How do I access the vouchers?
To participate in the Out & About Scheme, you must have a MyServiceNSW account.
Customers are encouraged to access their vouchers from the Service NSW app. You can download the Service NSW app now and register for a MyServiceNSW account ahead of the vouchers becoming available in early 2021.
Each voucher can only be used once.
Where can I spend my vouchers?
You can use your vouchers at participating and COVID-safe registered businesses. Further details on eligible business industries will be made available in the coming weeks.
The vouchers cannot be used for gambling or to purchase tobacco or alcohol.
How can my business get involved?
Vouchers can only be used with businesses that have implemented a COVID safety plan and are registered as COVID safe.
For your business to be part of the Out & About Scheme, you need to:
- have a MyServiceNSW account
- be operating in NSW in one of the eligible industries (details to come)
- have a valid bank account
- have an active Australian Business Number (ABN) as of 31 October 2020 and be registered for Goods and Services Tax (GST).
COVID-safe businesses can use their MyServiceNSW business profile to manage the scheme for their business.
Is it safe for me to go out?
COVID-safe businesses must follow Public Health Orders. If you are going out, make sure you check-in to your location, maintain physical distancing from others, and practice good hygiene.
