From 1 July 2022, changes to the Biz Secure program will better support businesses undertaking security improvements to protect against break-ins more effectively.
Key changes to the program include:
Changes to both the Biz Secure and Re-Secure programs come into effect on 1 July 2022.
From our direct source https://bizsecure.nt.gov.au/ it can be understood that the biz secure grant is the NT government attempt to reduce the amount of break ins to businesses. Territory businesses through using this grant are able to make a range of permanent security improvements to better protect themselves against break-ins using Territory enterprises. Individual businesses may be eligible for up to $15,000 to make a range of permanent security improvements to their premises.
The cost of the security audit is covered by the program (up to $2,000 for individual businesses and up to $7,000 for a cluster of businesses). Once the security audit has been completed, you will be able to seek quotes from a registered security supplier and apply for a voucher to carry out the work. The co-contribution eligible works with a security audit for individual businesses and cluster applications is 50:50.
To enable businesses to carry out physical security improvement jobs more quickly, there is now a list of pre-approved standard improvements that can be funded without the need for a security audit.
If you are eligible, the following standard improvement works do not require a security audit:
If you are only intending to carry out standard improvement works, seek a quote from a registered security supplier and apply for a voucher to carry out the works.
