The State Government is providing affordable entertainment and dining for residents to eat, play, and receive cash back in Victoria.
The Victorian Dining and Entertainment Program was restored to help Victorians save money on restaurant meals, live gigs and museum visits over spring and summer.
To receive cash back, customers will need to spend more than $40 or more to claim 25 per cent of the cash.
Purchases can include meals at restaurants, café, pubs, tickets to live music, art performances, and entries to museums, galleries, and amusement parks.
Customers can claim up to $125 cash back and produce many claims until they reach the cap.
The cash back system was first launched in March and saw more than $32 million claimed in three months.
The $25 million dollar program is connected to the government’s $200 million Victorian Business Stimulus Package, which runs until December 16, 2022, or when funds are exhausted.
Member for Northern Victoria Jaclyn Symes said the program would encourage people to experience dining and entertainment
“This program will give many of our hardworking local hospitality and entertainment businesses a boost, save Victorians money and get more people to experience what the north-east has on offer,” she said.
Minister for Industry Support and Recovery Ben Carroll said the cash back system was an opportunity for businesses to develop consumer confidence.
“Whether it’s booking a table for lunch or heading to a live music event, this cash-back program puts money back into people’s pockets and supports hardworking businesses across Victoria,” he said.
“This program also helps build business and consumer confidence, while supporting jobs and boosting the state’s economy.”
