JobKeeper OR JobSeeker? Covid-19. Making policy on the run.

I have been getting a lot of similar queries this last week – and I’ll be honest –  it’s difficult keeping on top of all the phone calls and emails, as well as process this behemoth stimulus package.

(AND afterall, I DO have a scarf to knit.🤣)

If I haven’t got back to you yet, I humbly apologise.

As you know, the Government is moving quickly with announcements and there is masses of policy being made ‘on the run’.

Truth is, at the moment I don’t know for sure if you are “JobKeeper” or “JobSeeker”.  Many of you are somewhere in between, OR even a bit of both.

To help work through all the issues, and share information as it comes to hand, as well as answer your many questions, I’ve created a Facebook Group (Your Business Matters) – so please join the group HERE. 

And simply fire away.  Ask me your questions (and I will answer them).  Make comments. Communicate and support each other.  AND if you know of any other creatives, musicians, live performers, who might benefit, please invite them to join.

I also want to remind everyone that the Covid-19 Treasury Factsheets, and many of the announcements, are not yet in legislation.  So while they give a broad overview, in reality, the final legislated details may be quite different.

Once we have legislation, I will interpret it and query the nitty gritty ‘real-life’ bits that aren’t properly explained.  The bits that may help (or hinder) YOU.

Rest assured that I am keeping across ALL official Government updates – and plenty more. (That is also code for ‘no need to email me stuff’.)

And finally, while it’s incredibly hard now, I believe after weeks/months in quarantine, Australians will come out the other end of this with a renewed appreciation for our home-grown musicians, artists and creatives.

I also suspect it will be some time before foreign acts will be performing internationally.  That means there is a captive audience of Aussies just waiting to go to the local pub, have a beer and watch a live performance.

Remember, save up your questions, and submit them to me via the Facebook Group – Your Business Matters. Because it does!
