The Lithgow Tin Shed is one of many local businesses accepting the vouchers and manager Amanda Schremmer said they were a good way for residents to help put money back into the economy post COVID.

The NSW Government's $250 million program expansion, announced as part of the $2.8 billion economic recovery package, means new applicants will receive three Dine NSW and three Discover NSW vouchers, while existing customers would receive one of each.

The additional vouchers will help NSW businesses grow and thrive this summer, while encouraging people to support their local cafes and restaurants.

"Since the vouchers have been rolled out its been bringing in business and bringing money back into town," Ms Schremmer said.

"Everyone's loving being back to some sort of normal and we encourage people to come in and use their vouchers."

She said The Tin Shed has been back into full swing, serving their loyal customers of Lithgow.

"We've been really busy now and everyone's back to their normal hours, staff are happy we are very busy and loving it," she said.

She also encouraged people to consider having their Christmas parties at The Tin Shed.

"We encourage people to have their Christmas parties here and come and try Jiba Shoku which is a Japanese night on Fridays with our barista Toshi."

Ms Schremmer said if anyone needed a hand with downloading their vouchers or using them, staff were more than happy to assist.

Accessing the new vouchers is simple. They are automatically available on the Service NSW app.

Dine and Discover NSW vouchers will start appearing in the Service NSW app with all delivered by early December. Current digital customers do not need to reapply to receive the extra vouchers.

Participating registered businesses do not need to re-register, while those who want to join the program are encouraged to sign up now, download the Service NSW for Business app and get ready to redeem.

NSW residents aged 18 years and older who are yet to apply will be able to do so until the program ends and will receive all six $25 vouchers.

Customers who don't have access to digital vouchers can opt into a new call and collect delivery method. All customers need to do is to call Service NSW on 13 77 88 from 3 December, nominate their nearest Service Centre and in three business days they can collect their paper vouchers.

Dine and Discover NSW vouchers can be used seven days a week, including public holidays, and are valid to 30 June 2022. More information: nsw.gov.au/covid-19/business/financial-support/dine-discover-nsw
