Expressions of Interest are open for the NSW Event Saver program

The purpose of Event Saver is to provide financial support to organisers of Major Events scheduled to be held between Wednesday 15 December 2021 and Saturday 31 December 2022 where an event is cancelled or Significantly disrupted as a direct result of Public Health Orders (PHO).

Major Events have been targeted for support due to the significant impact these events have on driving tourism as well as on the broader NSW economy.

Event Saver is one of several investments the NSW Government is making as part of its NSW COVID-19 Economic Recovery Plan and is intended to boost event organiser confidence to allow for continued planning and staging of Major Events across NSW over the year ahead.
