Australia is still battling through difficult times, due to the unprecedented bushfire events that have shocked communities across the country. 

It has been particularly difficult for small business owners in regional areas who have been left devastated by natural disasters and a lack of trade. 

If your small business has been affected by bushfires, Facebook is running an important campaign to support you. Facebook has launched their ‘Small Business Response Package’ to offer guidance and assistance where they can. 

By filling out their form, a Small Business Support Specialist will get in touch to understand your business challenges and offer guidance and assistance. Fire affected communities can access the package by entering in a few details here.

“The Facebook Australia Small Business package includes:

  •         Facebook Small Business Support Specialist – one-on-one business consultation for coaching and advice
  •         Advertising coupon – $200 AUD coupon to help grow your business
  •         Free Boost with Facebook workshops – face to face education from the Facebook Australia team

Facebook said  that their ‘Boost’ workshops will be conducted in over ten fire-affected communities, “with  a free full-day workshop, giving small businesses the tools and resources to help grow and thrive online.”
