Member Covid-19 Survey April 2020

The HAE EHA team would like to hear from members on a number of issues related to the current Covid-19 pandemic. It is important that as many members as possible respond.

The data is required to bolster our discussions with a variety of Government departments to build the case for increased/improved support for the Hire sector. We recognise that the Government has made strenuous efforts to help protect industry at large, however there are gaps. The information collected will be used, anonymously, as part of our industry response to the gaps and seeking improved access to grants, loans or any future type of funding.

We would ask members to be as candid as possible, the more data and information we can gather the better will be our strength in discussion and negotiation with Government officials. This is your opportunity to make your voice heard and together the sector will benefit.

This survey will take no more than three minutes to fill in, but is essential for the association to understand how its members need support in these unprecedented times, so that we can ensure a future for all of our members.
