Hi! My name is***** a solicitor in Australia, and I’m happy to help you.

You can apply to the state government for an emergency payment which is available to those parties and have to self isolate. What you need to do is reach out to Centrelink, and you will be able to seek urgent payment of those funds.

Additionally, your employer can give you direction on that particular aspect as well. Therefore you will not be out of pocket as the Victorian government will assist in covering some of those monies.

Also, on the state government website they have all information about this type of support funds that you can reach out to. It is worth having a look at that information on the Victorian State Government Website.

Have I answered your question? If any part of my response is unclear, please let me know. It’s my goal to deliver excellent service, so please let me know if there is anything more I can do. Thank you for using our site.
