Millions of customers will be able to take advantage of the State Government\u2019s much anticipated Dine & Discover NSW program, thanks to the program going live state wide.
\nPremier Gladys Berejiklian said the $500 million program follows successful testing and pilots in The Rocks, Broken Hill, Sydney CBD, Northern Beaches and Bega Valley.
\n\u201cThis stimulus will give businesses the boost they need after an incredibly tough 12 months, and will encourage customers to get out and about safely,\u201d Ms Berejiklian said.
\n\u201cThese vouchers will help businesses keep their doors open and grow, while providing customers with much needed hip pocket relief.\u201d
\nDine & Discover NSW will be rolled out progressively across NSW, with the first two stages underway.
\nTreasurer Dominic Perrottet said the program will bring much needed relief to some of the State\u2019s hardest hit industries.
\n\u201cWe want businesses to grow and thrive and for workers to stay in jobs. This stimulus is exactly what NSW needs as our economy goes from strength to strength,\u201d Mr Perrottet said.
\n\u201cWhether it\u2019s a caf\u00e9, restaurant, cinema or gallery, these industries have done it tough during the pandemic, and these vouchers will encourage more customers to come through the door and spend.\u201d
\nMinister for Customer Service Victor Dominello said the vouchers are simple and easy to use, with customers able to spend them via the Service NSW app.
\n\u201cThe app is seamless, contactless and safe. We are using digital technology to make life easier for customers and businesses,\u201d Mr Dominello said.
\n\u201cThroughout the testing and pilot phases, customers spent an average of $39, which is almost double the money going straight back into the community.\u201d
\nNSW residents will be able to easily apply online to receive their vouchers through the latest version of the Service NSW app and website, and a non-digital solution will be made available to customers who don\u2019t have a smartphone or compatible device.
\nEvery NSW resident aged 18 and over will be eligible for four $25 vouchers worth $100 in total, to spend in participating businesses.
\nDine & Discover NSW vouchers will be divided into two categories:<\/p>\n
