I'm a sole trader, and went through the whole "get a CRN" from centrelink. Started the mind numbing exercise of applying for the jobseeker ( $1100/fortnight) payments. What a headXXXX that is !!!!!!!!
Then found out that the jobkeeper . . $1500/ fortnight is done through the ATO, not the 'link.
Applied and am waiting for "updates"
Hope this helps.

We were about to put everyone off and onto newstart, spoke to all our employees about it, I literally finished writing the severance letters and the government announced jobkeeper! I then had to turn around and tell staff that we would now be keeping them on and then applied for the jobkeeper for our employees. The hard part being a small business is we have to keep paying them all through April and then we get the money back in the first week of May, we are a small business that lost 95% or revenue in one week when the pubs and restaurant bans were put in place and that month or wages needs to be covered with no incoming. We are lucky that we had decent reserves but a lot or small businesses are operating closer to the line than that!

That’s right, the Jobkeeper plan was passed through the lower house yesterday, but casuals and visa holders are not included, only permanent and part time workers fall under the jobkeeper umbrella.
If you are a permanent or part time employee , your employer would have registered you for jobkeeper, if their revenue has dropped by 30% or more. Check with your employer, they may be unaware?

Casuals need to apply at Centrelink via the myGov website for jobseeker which has been boosted to around $1124 per fortnight I think?

Casuals are included if they have been employed by the same business for at least 12 months, I actually have one casual employee who will receive a pay rise through this!

If you have casuals who work regular hours but haven’t been employed for 12 months, wouldn’t they be part timers?

Any updates on how effective isolation and social distancing has been in preventing the spread?

Part timers are permanent or contracted employees on less than 38 hours a week, they have guaranteed hours. Casual employees have no guarantee of future hours or employment! So any casuals with less than 12 months at a business does not qualify for job keeper!

I can see I’m not going to get you to understand how you may have looked after your casuals with regular hours.
That’s ok, no problem.

I have looked after my casuals thank you very much, but a casual employee doing regular hours does not magically become a part time employee. A part time employee is a permanent employee not a casual employee.

Hey Ink go into mygov and as soon as your in it will have an intention to claim statement,your missus should only have to hit the intention to claim button and then they will text you that they have received the claim,if she is an account holder already it will be easy

Hey zig thanks mate.... We did all that and all bar the last four words you're spot on.

She already had a centrelink CRN.
We logged into MyGov... Hit the intention to claim button... She got the text last night... That text is the confusing part, it said to go to centrelink thru MyGov and apply to claim.... But the centrelink website has nothing about job keeper.

All I can find on this is articles, nothing official on step by step guidelines.... And most of the articles need subscription.

We'll get there I guess...

Hey mate,
I think you have my number, but I will pm it to you incase you want to have a chat about this, I know how this all works fairly well. If she has been laid off she has to apply for Jobseeker through mygov, if she is still employed the company she works for pays her the $1500 a fortnight and then the company claims that through Jobkeeper. It is better if she can get her work to claim Jobkeeper as it is $400 more a fortnight.

Thanks for your help today cochise... As it happened while we were talking my missus received an email from her employers clarifying things... They're going to get her onto the Jobkeeper payment early may... She'd already applied for A/L before all this blew up so she'll use that until Then.
Once again thanks again for your time and assistance we really really appreciate it ?

As I said anytime mate! I'm glad they are doing the jobkeeper for her as it is much easier for you as all the processing is up to the employer and you don't have to chase centrelink for it. There really has been a lot of changes in a small space of time and I think a lot of employers are still catching up on all the new regulations.

Just glad everything worked out and she is going onto jobkeeper which is the greater benefit!

I have a friend in the mental health field and apparently calls and emails from new and existing clients over the past few weeks are at record levels.

On the flip side, the company I work for is currently entirely home based and it has been pretty amazing to see everyone making a huge effort to support one another.

I’ve had more relaxed, deep and meaningful conversations with my 21 year old son in these past three weeks than last 12 months altogether . It’s great!
I went through a terrible divorce and he really took it hard. He is wonderful but not the young man he was before the divorce. My guilt is never ending and I’ll never be 100% happy again because I think I’ve let my sons down even though I wouldn’t change what happened. Time with my son is precious and I’m enjoying it immensely. There - a bright side to this isolation!

Guilt is a terrible thing. You sound like a pretty good dad. It takes two to make a divorce. I have no doubt you did what you needed todo. Look after yourself, and I am sure your sons will be ok. I doubt you have let anyone down. The expectations we place on ourselves can be unrealistic, so be kind to yourself.

If you ever need to chat PM me. And yes, I’ve been through divorce as well.

Wow Mike I didn’t expect that. Thanks. Mate I went down pretty hard and was diagnosed with severe depression and schizophrenia. It’s been a long journey but I’m now pretty much back to my old self. It’s all good now and kids are great. Many people struggle more than me in many ways. But yes, the guilt remains. Parenting is hard. Appreciate your kind words.
