Supporting our community

The ACT Government is continuing to support the ACT community as we begin to cautiously re-open our society and economy and learn to interact as the COVID-19 pandemic continues.

This support will help businesses and industry as many reopen their doors and adjust to physical distancing requirements. It will protect as many jobs as possible, support Canberra households and our most vulnerable.

The government will also continue to help ACT public health services to provide essential health services to the community.

See below to find out what support may be available to you through the ACT Government.

Small to medium businesses are receiving support as they adjust to social distancing requirements and an expected downturn in the local economy.

The ACT Government is taking a range of actions and providing practical support, such as rebates and the freezing of some government fees to reduce pressure on household budgets.

Infrastructure projects across the city are being fast-tracked to keep the economy moving and providing increased opportunities for those who may have work disrupted in other industries.

Community and non-government organisation partners have important role in supporting our community through COVID-19. The ACT Government is providing a number of measures to support them meeting increased service demand.

As part of the national response to COVID-19 all jurisdictions are working collaboratively and collectively to ensure the nation’s health systems can respond effectively to the pandemic.
