Locals will be able to access a $50 accommodation voucher to help ease the burden of accommodation costs as COVID-19 restrictions ease across the state.
Applications for the vouchers will be made available by Local Government Area in a staggered approach with all residents expected to have access to them by March 3.
Minister for Customer Service and Digital Government, Victor Dominello, said the Stay NSW program has been expanded and fast-tracked, so people can enjoy a staycation sooner.
“Applying is fast and simple via the Service NSW mobile app, through the Service NSW website or by calling 13 77 88 for assistance,” Dominello said.
“People can pool the $50 Stay NSW Vouchers with relatives or mates, with no redemption limit.
“Apply as soon as you can so you can check-in somewhere special and check-out somewhere new.”
The Stay NSW Vouchers are valid until October 9, 2022.
Participating businesses will be able to redeem vouchers seven days a week, including public holidays.
Customers will be able to search for places to stay on the easy-to-use business finder.
There are currently only a handful of local accommodation providers signed up to the program but businesses still have time to still sign up.
More information, including details on eligibility plus how and when to apply, is available at service.nsw.gov.au/stay-nsw
