New Zealanders living in Australia given access to $12 billion wage subsidy scheme

Brian from New Lynn

The scheme only applies to New Zealanders on 444 visas, Mr Morrison announced in a press conference this afternoon. "New Zealanders on 444 visas don't get access to the welfare system, but they are getting access to this Jobseeker payment," he said. "They're connected to businesses here, they have commitments here, they own and rent properties, and they are part of an ongoing economy here in Australia."
The subsidy scheme is $585.80 per week for full-time workers and $350 for part-time workers, paid in a lump sum over seven weeks. Overall, a full time worker gets a total payment of $7,029.60.
