NEW JobKeeper extension Factsheet

On 21 July 2020, the government announced a tapered extension of the JobKeeper Payment subsidy. The JobKeeper Payment, which was originally due to expire in late September this year, will now continue to be available to eligible businesses (including the self-employed) and not-for-profits until 28 March 2021, but with some important modifications. Find out what these are in our Factsheet now.
