Pandemic Leave Payment
August 10, 2020
New payment for people who have to self-isolate
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has announced a $1,500 pandemic leave disaster payment for those who have to isolate for 14 days but have no more sick leave available to them.
The government will provide these payments to those who are ineligible for JobKeeper or JobSeeker, including those on short-term visas who are ineligible for Commonwealth payments.
The pandemic leave payment will only be made available to Victoria at this stage because it has been declared a state of disaster.
“If another state were to be in a position, and God forbid they were, that there was a disaster of the scale that we’re seeing in Victoria, then a disaster payment of this nature, of pandemic leave, would be entered into, but that would be done on the same basis of what’s been, will be established with Victoria,” Mr Morrison said.
“We will make sure that everyone else who finds themselves in this situation and they don’t have that leave available to them through their sick leave because it’s been exhausted will get a $1,500 payment for that fortnight.”
