Yesterday it was announced that the JobKeeper Payment would be extended by a further six months, to March 2021.
Support will be targeted to businesses and not-for-profits that continue to be significantly impacted by the Coronavirus. However reduced payment rates and additional eligibility criteria will apply from 28 September 2020.
More information can be found via the Australian Government's factsheet which can be found here
As always, we plan to assist our clients to determine their eligibility and meet their obligations.
Please contact us if you need a hand navigating the upcoming changes, or if you believe you are eligible and have not already enrolled for JobKeeper payments.
