Business hasn’t been able to reopen due to corona and being in a council owned property

I have been stood down from work because of covid19. I have now been reemployed but with drastically reduced hours. I am now in a position to not be able to cover the cost of my rent and utilities. I am relying on hand out from the Red Cross for food.

I only work one shift, only earning $100

The restaurant closed but before that they already cut the hours extremely

It affected me for the rent and life…

I worked in a restaurant, due to COVID-19, numbers of customer were going down rapidly, so that business owner decided to close their shop and dismiss all of employees.

I don’t have money, so I can’t pay the rent mire than 2 weeks, and I’m not considering food. I bought some food for 2 weeks.

I changed jobs at the beginning of the year and the restaurant where I worked was forced to close its doors and started to work only for delivery because of COVID-19 they reduced the number of the team and as I was the last contractor, unfortunately it started with me.

I don’t have a job right now and I still have to pay rent, bills and school fees

I am one of the massage clinic students. I am struggling to lose my job because of the corona virus. It’s time for someone’s help. Let me make money. I want support

I’m with the Working Holidays Visa currently living in Port Douglas. As all restaurants, bars and cafe are closed two weeks ago I had filled all my paperwork to start working at Pullman this week but I couldn’t. I’m also working at a Company of Catering services for parties and all my shifts have been cancelled. I need to do hospitality jobs or farm jobs to extend my visa but with the restaurant closed and […]

Work place closed, I didn’t have any income

My restaurant is currently closed and we have no idea when its gonna reopen! With no income, I can’t pay rent, bills, I’m even worried how I’m gonna buy food. Also, My visa expires in may and it cost hips of money!

I have no job because I’m in hospitality and the club i work at got shut down . I now have to use all my entitlement. So when i have my baby in September I’ll be on limited leave and will have to go back to work after 6 months. Thanks scomo!!!!

My pub has closed down, putting both myself and my partner out of work. My mental health is up and down as it is for now.

Restaurant shut , we’ve all been stood down until further notice

The company put us in stood down with the opportunity to use leave entitlements. But as a temporary visa holder, I can not work in another company or another job. Now wondering if I will lose my visa, how I will pay bills, rent and buy food in the long term.

I don’t have any shifts and barely have money to survive for the month

I don’t know how I’m going to pay my mortgage payment. From nz and not entitled to any help.

I was a part-time waitress in two different restarutants in the Brisbane CBD. Unfortunately, due to the Cov-19 crisis, I lost my 2 part-time jobs. I am an international student, I do not have any support network around me that can financially support me in this circumstance. I urgently need some financial aid so that i can afford to pay my rent and all my daily basic expenses.

I have no income, I’m not entitled to any Centrelink support as I’m a NZ citizen. Plus I also not know how I’m going to be able too pay my rent. My previous workplace has had to close.

I am not able to pay my whole fortnights rent,bills and food, and this fornight I have gone without any money for the last 8 days! I received $400 for the fortnight from centrelink, but my rent alone is $450 p/f. Emotionally, it is extremely hard to stay positive.

Chef at a very rich elite private school school has shut

I’ve just rented a house with 3 other people and they’ve lost the jobs also… struggling to pay bills and rent and essential shopping items.

I was offered to go to be stood down on unpaid leave until we can resume operating. 3 days later my contract was terminated. Nothing had been passed onto the employees and frankly their total lack of empathy for their ‘valued’ staff is disgusting.

I have stopped getting any shifts and the business had to close and let staff go. I have applied for many other jobs over the past 2 weeks and have not heard back from any.

No shifts no money Need a roof over my head Need power need food Stressed anxiety

I cant pay rent and may have to fly back to New Zealand and leave my life in Australia behind with all my possessions and bills

Shut down

Have to apply for centrelink, already surviving week to week, now I have to survive for 3-4 week’s without any support.
