The Tasmanian Government welcomes the Commonwealth’s decision to extend both JobKeeper and JobSeeker supplement payments, beyond the September timeframe.

The payments will continue to provide support to Tasmanian households and businesses through the challenges of COVID-19.

This support complements the Tasmanian Government’s significant support and stimulus measures to assist community and business through these unprecedented times.

We will continue to work closely with community, business and industry to provide both support and economic stimulus initiatives as part of our commitment to Tasmanians’ safety and security.
