Hon STUART NASH (Minister for Economic and Regional Development): This morning, I announced a COVID-19 events transition support payment scheme to provide certainty to event organisers to continue to plan their event ahead of finalisation of the public health settings that will apply at the time of their event. The scheme will apply to all public-facing ticketed events that are not underwritten or funded elsewhere with more than 5,000 attendees and require the use of COVID-19 vaccine certificates. The scheme will pay out 90 percent of the direct costs incurred by the organiser in delivering the event and only when there is certainty that the public health settings would explicitly prevent the event taking place on the date or dates of the event.
