Our bushfire support package programme has now concluded. However, Facebook is committed to supporting Australian small businesses on their road to recovery and through the COVID-19 pandemic.

You’re invited to join our newly created Boost with Facebook Group, where we will be broadcasting best practice education, giving you opportunities to get your questions answered and together support a resilient small business economy.

The Facebook Australia team will be delivering a series of regular Facebook Live workshops in partnership with our Facebook Community Trainers who are equipped with best practice education on how to use Facebook and Instagram whilst also bringing their own personal experiences to running a small business online.

We also encourage to check out the below resources.

Australia Groups Fund

Is your Facebook Group helping your community through a tough time?

From bushfires to pandemics, Australians are using Facebook Groups to come together, whether it's for emotional support and to offer help, or just to sing and laugh together to get through.

That’s why we’ve created the Facebook Australia Groups Fund to support Facebook Groups who are leading community relief or recovery efforts to apply for grants of up to AUD10,000.

If you have been involved in a Facebook Group or know of a Facebook Group who has made an impact in your community, find out how you can apply or nominate a group below.

It is common to need support after being in or witnessing an event that may be traumatic, as everyone will be affected differently. Find information about what might be helpful following a natural disaster from headspace.
