JobKeeper Payment for Employers and Employees

Under the JobKeeper Payment, businesses significantly impacted by the coronavirus outbreak will be able to access a subsidy from the Government to continue paying their employees. This assistance will help businesses to keep people in their jobs and re-start when the crisis is over. For employees, this means they can keep their job and earn an income – even if their hours have been cut.

There has been changes to the JobKeeper program (known as JobKeeper Extension) as of the 28th of September, including changes to the amount per fortnight, reassessment of eligibility for the extension period and potential eligibility through to the 28th of March 2021.
