While Queensland and New South Wales start the long cleanup process following the recent devastating floods, we are aware that many of you in the affected areas are still in need of urgent assistance.

We wish to support you and your business through this immediate crisis and help you navigate the relief available through various assistance programs supported by the government and industry.

In the wake of a disaster, businesses will turn their attention from survival, crisis management, and cleanup, to addressing the longer-term financial and business implications.

To keep your business running through a crisis period there are many factors to consider including insurance; client, customer, and supplier communications; payroll and superannuation; cash flow planning; as well as tax implications and ATO obligations. In addition, your mental health, resilience, and well-being for yourselves, families, staff, and communities are of utmost importance. As these disasters unfold, the relevant government departments will make available certain assistance packages and grants for flood-affected businesses and individuals, after announcing a ‘disaster declaration’ for affected areas.

We are also very aware that similar tragic circumstances are quickly unfolding in more regions across the country and foresee that additional support and information will be regularly updated. We wish to help our clients as much as possible in this very difficult period. Please contact your local Grant Thornton advisor or email our offices for more information on how we can help.
