Other groups who may miss out on the assistance provided through the supplement and the one-off payments are those not residentially qualified for social security payments including temporary visa holders, asylum seekers on bridging visas and New Zealanders on special category visas. New Zealanders who arrived in Australia from February 2001 have limited access to working age social security payments in Australia. The Migration Council of Australia raised concerns that members of these groups who have their income affected by the pandemic and economic downturn will face serious hardship without access to social security payments. They may also face difficulties returning to their home country due to travel bans put in place in response to the pandemic. Minister for Finance Mathias Cormann indicated that the Minister for Families and Social Services would use existing powers to extend Special Benefit eligibility to some additional temporary visa categories: temporary resident (other employment) and temporary resident (skilled employment) visa holders. The Minister stated that the Government was not proposing to extend eligibility other excluded visa holders such as New Zealand special category visa holders. |
