JobKeeper package

April 17, 2020

The JobKeeper package has been passed by Parliament and we are now waiting on the guidelines for the package.  The guidelines are the rules that explain how we claim and process the funds in this package.  The government are now writing these guidelines at the moment and we will pass this information on as soon as we have it to our eligible Host Employers.

The other package that is available is the JobSeeker, this is through Centrelink and is accessed in the event of standing down or termination of an apprentice or trainee due to a slowdown in work with the Host Employer. The information we have sent through to Apprentices and Trainees is about attaining a CRN, Centrelink Customer Reference Number, either online or in a Centrelink branch so if required you will be able to access the JobSeeker payment. 

We have sent emails regarding these to all Host Employers, Apprentices and Trainees and have listed the links below for further information. 

If you have further questions regarding these please contact your direct consultant or our Head Office on 1300 158 100
