What is the $1,000 SafeWork NSW rebate?

The Safework NSW rebate is a $1,000 rebate available to NSW businesses with under 50 employees.

It is a rebate to offset the costs of a vast array of safety equipment which is purchased through the business in order to improve the health and safety of workers.

It is also that glorious soundbite known as ‘Free money’.

Businesses should aim to be sustainable and viable in their own right, without any government assistance, but hey, when it comes around why not benefit from what is offered to small businesses who take risks to create the Australian dream.
