Free lockdown help for businesses

The Hive is offering a free online mentoring service during lockdown to help businesses improve their digital presence and the way they use digital technology to deliver products and services and run their business.

It's also an opportunity to try something new, tweak or fix something old and come out the other side of lockdown a little stronger and more resilient than before.

If you or someone you know is interested, you can choose and book a time online. 

• The free service is limited to an initial one-hour mentoring session delivered online or by phone. Follow up sessions may be added at our discretion and subject to availability.
• Advice is general in nature.
• The service is available during the lockdown period in Victoria until 11:59pm Tuesday 20 July 2021 and will be prolonged if lockdown is extended.
• Offer is available to active businesses located within the Great South Coast local government areas of Warrnambool City Council, Moyne Shire, Corangamite Shire, Southern Grampians Shire, Glenelg Shire and Colac Otway Shire.
