The Federal Government has supported the launch of www.australianbusinesscontinuity.com.au, a site providing access to free business services during COVID-19.
The Minister for Communications and Cyber Safety The Hon. Paul Fletcher MP and the Minister for Industry, Science and Technology The Hon. Karen Andrews MP welcomed the launch of the portal.
It will provide an online resource as Australian businesses and workplaces move towards remote working arrangements.
Teleworking technologies are critical tools for both business and government that support tele and video conferencing, virtual meetings and events as well as other remote business services that can be deployed out of the traditional office environment enabling business continuity.
This is especially important for governments, students, SMEs and employees to remain connected and productive.
The ability to stay in visual communication as well as collaborate with colleagues and clients without being exposed to close contact is a critical requirement of many businesses.
The Australian Information Industry Association (AIIA) has launched the resource.
The landing page provides information for Australians on services available to meet their specific remote working needs.
The landing page will then enable people and businesses to link to the relevant offer or platform to access the service from that company.
Free offers available on the site include: Telstra, Google, ServiceNow, Cisco, Facebook, Microsoft, Adobe, Salesforce and SAP have joined the initiative led by AIIA by providing a complimentary suite of service and product offerings available through this website.
AIIA's new website complements the broad suite of Government support and advice available to Australian business owners at www.business.gov.au.
