Coronavirus Supplement

Additional financial support when you’re affected by Coronavirus (COVID-19).

There’s additional financial help if you get an income support payment due to Coronavirus (COVID-19).

You may be able to get a fortnightly payment of $550 if you get an eligible income support payment.

The Coronavirus Supplement is taxable income. You can ask us to set up a tax deduction for you. This means that your tax will come out of your payment automatically.

For details about how you can protect yourself read the Department of Health Coronavirus (COVID-19) health alert. You can also call the Coronavirus Health Information Line on 1800 020 080. The line operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
