Financial Support for Temporary Visa Holders in Australia - COVID 19

Comments

#2803

My son and partner are in the goldcoast studying and have been studying hard to gain a trade to benefit themselves and the australian economy/ government. This is a worldwide crisis and all people around the world should be supported especially as this is not in everyones control. Every human deserves support in these times. Every government is working hard to support the population in their own country. This should be no different in Australia. Show support to all vusa holders especially temporary visa holders .

I'm holding a bridging visa (via partner visa). Me and my wife both lost jobs due the COVID-19. She is trying to get help from Centerlink because she is a resident but just her won't be enough. We have rent to pay and a 9 months old baby.

I am a temporary skilled visa holder and although I know these are hard times for eveybody in this great country I believe no migrant should be left behind and by themselves in such a difficult situation, we have come with a positive and contributive attitude to Australia and I know we would love to be able to continue doing it, we just need some help to get through this, like everybody else in this boat.

I am on a student visa, working on hospitality and will loose my job very loose. I will then by in difficulty to pay my rent.

I have been/am still a holder of a temporary working visa in Australia and have paid tax throughout to Australia with no reciprocation and I think it’s about time we were recognised and helped by the government. The superannuation is unclaimable when we leave until our visas expire and 6 months have passed and the company releases it to the ATO but first takes a nice 65% from it back to their pocket.

I don’t feel the system is fair or respects temporary visa holders coming from overseas.

I’m a temporary resident of Australia and have been for 10 years, during which I’ve paid my taxes so should be eligible for some support from the government during these uncertain and worrying times

My daughter has devoted the last few years of her life to be a wonderful asset to your country. She works hard and has totally immersed herself into your culture, and adopted it as her own! She fully supports her local community and your country as her own. This virus should not be hers, and the many others in her position, undoing.

Temporary visa holders pay tax to support Australia in the good times and it will relieve the financial strain on temporary visa holders in Australia.

I'm signing because I've been 4 years paying more taxes than residents, paying also a huge amount of money for studies without any help, helping the economy with my job, and paying superannuation that the government pretend to keep a ridiculous amount of money when I leave.
At least we deserve some help and support financially to go through and leave the country with some money as now we have to use our savings.

I believe Australian Government has always been generous towards all its residents (Temporary, Permanent & Citizens) in many ways and would not overlook foreigners residing in Australia in such global crisis.

Although it is understandable that we need trillions of resources to last long for this unprecedented event, we surely can raise some funds to accomodate non-Australians just to get by, hence, keeping smile on the face of anyone present on Australian Land.
