19.01.2022 Our clients have truly inspired our team over the last couple of months. Businesses have been working harder than ever for less money and people have shown great character. For clients doing it tough, weve been trying to lodge as many JobKeeper applications as possible. So far, we have lodged applications for 212 businesses that have approximately 1,450 employees. This will result in approximately $28.2 million going to those struggling businesses. Our office may be relatively empty at the moment but we look forward to welcoming our team and clients back soon.
