The NSW Government is launching Dine & Discover NSW to encourage the community to get out and about, supporting dining, arts, and tourism businesses and stimulating spending in the economy.
Businesses in NSW will be able to sign up for the Dine & Discover voucher program.
How does Dine & Discover NSW work?
Every NSW resident aged 18 and over will be eligible for four $25 vouchers worth $100 in total. The vouchers can be used at participating NSW businesses that are registered as COVID safe. The vouchers will be divided into two categories:
- two $25 vouchers to be used for eating in at restaurants, cafes, bars, pubs and clubs from Monday to Thursday, excluding public holidays.
- two $25 vouchers to be used for entertainment and recreation, including cultural institutions, live music, and arts venues, available 7 days a week, excluding public holidays.
How do I apply for the vouchers?
To participate in Dine & Discover NSW, you must have a MyServiceNSW account.
Service NSW is also launching a specialised app for participating businesses so they can scan and track voucher usage over the life of the program. All eligible businesses should receive an email from Service NSW with details on how to register.
