We are proudly part of the Small Business Digital Adaptation Program

Welcome to the Victorian Small Business Digital Adaptation Program Small Business Digital Adaptation Program trial. QuickBooks is partnering with the Victorian Government to help you adapt to the digital operating environment and prepare for COVID Normal. The government has committed $20 million to deliver this important program that is open to Victorian businesses from all industry sectors.

Frequently asked questions

How does the program work?

The Small Business Digital Adaptation Program will allow eligible businesses to trial and then receive access to digital products, tools and training they can use to build digital capability in their day-to-day operations.

Businesses can start using a new product, like point-of-sale payment, or restore access to a lapsed product under this program. Upgrades to existing digital tools, like adding a shop to a current website, are also included.

Products currently available to businesses through this program include website, e-commerce, finance and digital business management tools.

Businesses can check their ABN for eligibility, and purchase selected digital products from suppliers who have partnered with the Victorian Government. Once businesses have purchased a product, they can apply for a rebate of up to $1,200 to access the product for 12 months.

Who can apply?

What steps do I need to take?

The program runs until 31 December 2021
Trial (and subsequently purchase) a selected, approved software service (QuickBooks)
You will be invited by email to apply for a purchase rebate one month after registering (Proof of purchase required)
You will be contacted to confirm you’ve begun to adapt your business to a digital environment
The Digital Adaptation Rebate will be paid after confirmation of continued use
You will be sent an evaluation survey 6-12 months later
Beyond the 12 month period, further costs are the responsibility of the business

Where can I find out more?

How do I know if I’m eligible for a rebate against QuickBooks Online under this program?

To be eligible, you must be digitising your business and signing up to QuickBooks Online for the first time, or if you were previously and you would like to resume using the product, it must have been at least 12 months since you had an active subscription.
