In March 2021, the Federal Government announced an additional $125 million for the Restart Investment to Sustain and Expand (RISE) fund. The initial $75 million allocation was part of a $250 million rescue package of grants and loans announced by the Government in June, 2020, to help reactivate the industry following COVID-19 shutdowns.
After a fairly slow initial roll out of funds, this extra top-up will continue to deliver much-needed support to those who present live music and entertainment across Australia.
