The Andrews Labor Government is backing small and family businesses to upgrade their digital systems to attract more customers and improve efficiency.
Acting Minister for Small Business Martin Pakula today confirmed $5 million in rebates is available in the latest round of the successful Small Business Digital Adaptation Program.
The program has so far supported more than 10,000 Victorian businesses to build their digital presence, streamline services and reach new customers.
Small businesses can apply for $1,200 rebates to access a range of digital tools to make improvements to websites, online marketing, project management and stocktake systems and cash flow services.
Great Coffee Moments café in Port Fairy has gone from strength to strength since embarking on its digital transition in 2021, with support from the program.
Having operated for seven years without an online presence, Great Coffee Moments now has a website, integrated booking system, online store and active social media accounts.
This online adaptation means customers can now buy coffee beans online throughout the year and positive reviews have also driven strong growth and an expansion of their catering business.
Popular software applications available as part of the program include Mr Yum, Square, Shopify, Squarespace, MYOB and XERO.
Once business owners have implemented the new technology, further assistance is also available through the program to support a successful digital transition in addition to free digital workshops through Business Victoria.
The new round of the Small Business Digital Adaptation Program closes on 18 July 2022.

Dear Reader,The Indian Sun is an independent organisation committed to community journalism. We have, through the years, been able to reach a wide audience especially with the growth of social media, where we also have a strong presence. With platforms such as YouTube videos, we have been able to engage in different forms of storytelling. However, the past few years, like many media organisations around the world, it has not been an easy path. We have a greater challenge. We believe community journalism is very important for a multicultural country like Australia. We’re not able to do everything, but we aim for some of the most interesting stories and journalism of quality. We call upon readers like you to support us and make any contribution. Do make a DONATION NOW so we can continue with the volume and quality journalism that we are able to practice.
Thank you for your support.
Best wishes,
