Regional Development Australia Limestone Coast (RDALC) is developing a new assistance program to help small businesses across our region recover from the effects of COVID-19. We would like your help to understand which types of expert assistance would be most valuable to you and your business as you continue to adjust to this new-normal.  
 
This new program, called 'Expert Connection', will expand on our current small business support by providing free access to an expert, such as a bookkeeper, accountant or digital consultant, who can provide you with tailored business advice and professional services.  
 
We hope that this program will be able to support small businesses that have been significantly impacted by the pandemic and that have not been able to access the professional support and advice they need.   
 
Please take a few minutes to fill out the survey to help us understand the most important things that you and your business will need over the next 3 – 6 months. 

What will happen to the survey results?
We will treat any comments you make in the survey as confidential. In addition to informing the new program, some of the overall themes may be de-personalised and used for reporting purposes. Please note only staff within RDALC will have access to your completed survey and you can choose to remain anonymous.

How long will the survey take?
The survey should take approximately 5 minutes to complete. 

Thank you for your participation.
