Victorian Rental Assistance

To ease financial hardship faced by tenants and landlords as a result of coronavirus (COVID-19), the Victorian Government introduced the Commercial Tenancy Relief Scheme (the Scheme). The Scheme has been changed and extended to 31 December 2020.
The Victorian Small Business Commission has released a handy go to link that has draft templates of letters that can be written to a landlord to seek further rent relief.
It also contains various other useful links including how to apply for free mediation if the landlord does not play ball.
Here is a link to the site:
