My farm work got cancelled after i arrived, my old job has had to close so I am now currently homeless. Both of my flights got cancelled and i cannot afford the $15K it might cost to get home.

Because after completing my farm work and then finding a job after I was let go due to the pandemic. I'm now not earning any money. I gave three months of my time to help the Australian agriculture industry it would be nice to see the Australian government actually values the help I provided.

I am an international student paying extortionate study fees and also working and paying tax in order to fund myself and I have now been left jobless. If I do not have money then I cannot study and will not have a visa but I also cannot leave the country during this pandemic!!

I am an Irish resident living in Northern NSW , with an Australian working holiday visa, awaiting the result of a partner/spouse visa application for Australia. I have recently become unemployded due to Covid-19 and have no financial assistance from either the Australian Government or Irish Government. I really hope Australia decide to financially assist me and my peers as I have worked here for 2 years, paying tax on ever dollar I've earned, working in hospitality, serving the people of Australia..

Both me and my partner are on a Graduate visa and my partner is unemployed. We won't receive any kind of support if I'm losing my job, which is in early childhood. My centre is already facing serious financial difficulties as the numbers of families have dropped, putting us in a position where we have to be sent home and use our leave to get paid. In the event of a lock down, how would we continue to receive an income? Thank you

Long term travellers help our country working in the food industries. Most can’t leave to go back to their countries, have lost their jobs & will be in a desperate position. Please help them.

I’m signing this because my partner is on student visa and she has lost her job and is in deep distress unable to pay her rent utilities and other bills. She’s hoping to make a future here in Australia in the long coming plan. Currently she’s struggling financially in a way no one would understand. Please make a Financial grant available for all students in Australia and especially and more importantly for temporary visa holders.

I am a temp Visa holder who has lost my job and left in a country with no help or financial entitlements yet cannot move. I am a UK citizen and have reached out to both the British and Australian consulate with no response.

Hayley Stanfield (Melbourne , 2020-03-27)

I’m signing because I believe temporary visa holders are also affected by the situation and need assistance. We should not be left out while the entire country is eligible for some form of financial assistance or the other.
