What is the “Coronavirus Supplement” that I’ve heard about?
Casual workers (if eligible) can apply for the “Cornovirus Supplement” payment which includes $550 per fortnight for up to 6 months paid to both existing and new recipients. This is mostly for people who already receive benefits (not funding) from the Federal Government. This includes AusStudy recipients, carers and recipients of family tax benefits, etc.
