If you’re a small business owner in NSW, you might be eligible for the $1,000 SafeWork Small Business Rebate. This government program helps businesses, sole traders, charities, and not-for-profits improve workplace safety by covering the cost of certain safety items.
Who Can Apply?
- You must have an ABN and employ 0-50 full-time equivalent workers.
- Charities and not-for-profits are also eligible if they have 1-50 workers.
- You can’t have received this rebate in the last five years.
What’s Covered?
- The rebate can be used for safety improvements like:
- Anti-slip treatments and matting
- Retractable hoses and leads
- Stair nosing
- Industrial cable management
- Fixed or portable lighting for better visibility
How to Apply
- Complete a SafeWork NSW education activity within 12 months before applying.
- Purchase eligible safety items and keep the receipts.
- Submit your application through the NSW Government website.
Tax Implications
Payment for safety items is a deductible business expense. If a rebate was granted by the government, it reduces the tax deduction.
