Help us reach 500 signatures!
Thank you for your support for our petition "Support for Sole Traders through Melbourne's lockdown". We have just reached 200 signatures!
Many sole traders have shared their experiences on the page - they are still totally unable to work due to the restrictions, and cannot understand why their funding has been cut so dramatically.
The Business Costs Assistance Program Round 5 has cut funding to Sole Traders only.
Other size businesses are receiving the exact same amounts throughout October/November that they received from Round 4 of the program.
It's simple - we believe Sole Traders also deserve the same amount that they received during the previous months of lockdown. Industry restrictions haven't changed, so why would the financial support change?
