The JobKeeper payment is a subsidy to businesses. It will help keep more Australians in jobs throughout the coronavirus pandemic.
The Australian Government will provide $130 billion for JobKeeper support to help keep Australians in jobs and minimise the significant economic and social impact from the coronavirus.
The payment is a subsidy to businesses which will keep more Australians in jobs throughout the coronavirus pandemic as social distancing and public gathering restrictions impact on business operations.
Employers will receive a payment of $1,500 per employee to help keep both employers and employees connected while some businesses may have to go into hibernation during the outbreak.
