NSW Accommodation support grant

If you’re an accommodation provider who experienced cancellations for stays between Friday 25 June 2021 and Sunday 11 July 2021, you may be eligible for the accommodation support grant.

Two different grant amounts are available:

• $2,000 for cancellations of 10 nights or less
• $5,000 for cancellations of 11 nights or more.

If you have more than one accommodation property in NSW, you’ll be able to submit an application for each property.

A qualified accountant, registered tax agent, registered BAS agent or real estate agent may apply for the grant on behalf of your business.

Your accountant will need to provide a letter of authority from you to show that they are authorised to act on behalf of your business if they are not listed as an associate on the Australian Business Register.

Applications will close at 11:59pm on 30 November 2021.

• be able to show evidence of cancellations between Friday 25 June 2021 and Sunday 11 July 2021.
