Coronavirus Supplement
Additional financial support when you’re affected by coronavirus (COVID-19).
The Australian Government has announced changes to coronavirus (COVID-19) support. Find out how changes to coronavirus (COVID-19) support may impact you.
You may be able to get the Coronavirus Supplement if you get at least $1 of an eligible income support payment.
The temporary Coronavirus Supplement is available at a rate of $150 per fortnight until 31 March 2021.
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.
