A Short Note to Our Clients Regarding COVID-19

In light of the unprecedented events surrounding COVID-19 we wanted to inform our clients it will be, to all intent and purposes, Business as Usual.

One of our priorities is the safety and wellbeing of our staff. To that end, we have established hygiene protocols, social spacing and reduced client interaction to a minimum via the use of electronic data transfer and limiting client communications to email and/or phone.

We are cognisant of State and Federal Government health policy directives and remain proactive in their implementation.

In anticipation of a possible total commercial lock down being invoked we have initiated the necessary changes to enable our team members to work remotely. We remain committed to retaining a commercial normalcy in these testing times. All efforts will be made to maintain the continuity in the timely and professional completion and dispatch of your work.

Remaining sensitive to our clients changed situations is also a priority. We understand that you will be experiencing issues, the likes of which you have not dealt with before. If we can be of any assistance, please feel free to contact us. New Government incentive initiatives and financial assistance packages are being released which may well suit your circumstances and provide short term financial support.

The below links provide information on some of the stimulus packages, ATO assistance, and Payroll Tax assistance.

Please review this information before contacting us, and then we can answer your specific questions.

No doubt, moving forward, as the situation intensifies new policies and procedures will be implemented that we will have to embrace to a greater or lesser extent. Our approach at HTG Partners is to listen and engage with you by assisting you in this different and changing landscape.

We will use our website to communicate to our clients any new policies or procedures and change in our workflow protocols as we navigate through the current situation.

Yours Sincerely,

Partners of HTG
