The Government’s initial Earthquake Support Package will help people get through the next few weeks while we consider medium-term solutions.
More than 6500 employers have taken up the Earthquake Support Subsidy, helping keep more than 37,000 staff in jobs. More than 3700 people have taken up the Job Loss Cover.
We’ve broadened the criteria for the support package to include large employers, and lengthened the payment period to six weeks. We recognise the widespread impact of the earthquake, and the work that needs to take place.
Civil Defence has paid more than $10 million in emergency payments to cover essentials such as food, clothing, petrol, and accommodation.
