JOBS FIRST PLAN - NOT-FOR-PROFIT TOURISM ATTRACTION SURVIVAL PAYMENT

The $500,000 Not-for-Profit Tourism Attraction Payment has been established to support not-for-profit tourist attractions such as non-government museums and historical sites. The payment will support those organisations significantly impacted by COVID-19, and are able to demonstrate a reduction in turnover.

Much like the immediate survival payments offered earlier this year, one-off payments of between $2,000 and $20,000 will support those not-for-profits that have experienced considerable reductions in turnover and need support to get through the ongoing COVID 19 impacts and the traditional low tourist season.

The payment amount depends on the size of the impacted workforce:

• $2,000 for sole traders
• $5,000 for businesses with two to five full time equivalent employees (FTEs)
• $10,000 for businesses with six to 19 employees (FTEs)
• $20,000 for businesses with more than 20 employees (FTEs)

The payment will be provided as one lump sum to help eligible applicants offset immediate cost pressures.

Who can apply

The organisation must be an established not-for-profit tourism attraction with a valid ABN, that has been actively operating in the Northern Territory in either owned or leased premises for at least 12 months prior to the date of announcement of this initiative.

The organisation should be able to demonstrate how they are a tourism attraction.

Be able to demonstrate:

• a minimum of 50% reduction in turnover experienced in October 2020 compared to October 2019
• provide valid evidence of workforce size and financial situation
• be a non-government entity
• be a registered incorporated not-for-profit organisation.

Each organisation can apply only once for the program.

Note: excludes festivals and events run by not-for-profit organisations.

ATTACHMENTS AND SUPPORT DOCUMENTS

You may need to upload/submit attachments to support your application. This is very simple, but requires you to have the documents saved on your computer, or on a storage device.

You need to allow enough time for each file to upload before trying to attach another file. Files can be up to 25MB each; however, we do recommend trying to keep files to a maximum of 5MB – the larger the file, the longer the upload time.

COMPLETING AN APPLICATION IN A GROUP/TEAM

A number of people can work on an application using the same log in details as long as only one person is working at a time. Ensure you save as you go.
