Financial Support for Temporary Visa Holders in Australia - COVID 19

Comments

#1807

I lost all of my jobs a week ago since there I’ve been looking for a job and everyone says the same “sorry but we don’t know what’s gonna happen tomorrow”, yeah it’s been terrible moments to stay here as student visa, without job, far from family, and a lot of bills to pay, including school, rent, food, etc. I hope we can have any support from the Australian government, I know it was my choice to live here as student visa but who knew that we would have this terrible situation.

My partner is foreign and here on a tourist visa. At the moment we are living off my government fund until we get our jobs back so this would help us greatly if he could provide some support also.

I’m signing because I have tried to find flights to return home but they have been cancelled and are now out of my price range. I have been trying to find work in Australia and have been unable due to the closure of restaurants/pubs/cafes. I am now running out of money and cannot ask family for financial support as they too are struggling to pay bills and mortgages back home.

I've been living in Melbourne for over 4 years and I have contributed to the country in a number of ways (labour and taxes are only a few examples). Australia is a country made by immigrants and the operates smoothly due to the hard work of temporary residents to a big extent.

I am here to visit my daughter and wife on a visitor visa, and was supposed to fly back at the end of April, however as most flight has cancelled, I am stuck here. I would appreciate a guidelines to show how we can extend our stays. We are currently working on Visitor Visa 600, and it cost a bit of money, not sure what the outcome will be yet.

I'm signing because temporary visa holders pay their dues by; paying an exorbitant amount for their visas in the first place; by doing essential work Australians don't want to do, by paying taxes, and by enriching us culturally. They are also human beings, for Christ's sake, not digits.

Bob Hayward (Brisbane, 2020-03-27)

The financial situation that involves every person living in Australia, or any part of the world, its beyond them.
International students and WH Visa holders have no right to claim or obtained any benefit provided by the Australian Government regarding the CoVid 19 pandemic.
We came to this country with working rights, we pay taxes, superannuation. We contribute to the economy of this country like any other Aussie citizen but we are denied any help.
We are told to go back home when there is no flights and the borders of Our countries are closed.
We are here and as in a past time Australia use, and abuse, our cheap labour. We, the foreigners with working rights, ask for financial help. Cease of rent, college tuition fees, and financial help.

I am an international student who has been laid off and with no support I am unsure of how I will stay in my home and in Australia to finish my degree. I am unable to leave and without an income or safety net. We contribute to this society and economy as well and don't deserve to left out in the cold.

Hendrik Moran (Stanmore, 2020-03-27)

I came to Melbourne for a better career in the Financial Services Industry. I was offered a great job, a dream job!!! However, they have now said I wont be hired until after all of the Coronavirus restrictions are lifted as they are all working from home. I am putting my elderly parents under financial pressure to pay for my rent and food in Melbourne and I dont know how sustainable this situation is for me. I've applied for every supermarket, pharmacy and essential business to get cash but no hope yet. This would not be a long term welfare payment, a short term payment to assist those who have no choice and need to sustain basic human necessities.

Please support them

I agree about the statement that the Australian government has a very vague approach towarda the temporary visa holders. We also pay taxes and boy, HUGE TAXES! We pay health insurance, car insurance, car loans, etc. We contribute heaps to the Australian economy, but why are we left behind?

Im signing because my partner and I are both living in Australia since 4 years.
We both worked as full time in a restaurant and we are both considered as « Australian for taxes purposes ». So now, it’s your time to help us ...

I am singing because I believe we pay the tax and education fee which is higher amount than the local students even we study the same course so we deserve the support from the government.
