My visa is expiring in a month and can't go back to italy as there are no flights and it's not safe anyway. I've lost my job and I can't work as no supermarket or factory will hire me as my visa will expire soon. I need support and extension of my visa so I can work.

I hope the government can see the importance Of us who had been make a small dedication towards the economy of Australia. As we had been paying our taxes same like the Pr and citizen in this country, by seeking a home where we can settle down with our family here. Looking for a country that promoting multi cultural, love, peace and equality.
Therefore I hope the government won’t forget us during this difficulty crisis. We will be an important asset to help the economy of Australia back in track when all these overweight.

Peace love.

I’m holding student visa and study early childhood course for second year now. And I work with children in Melbourne as well. I would like to say visa only allowed me to work 20 hours per week and I have to try to save more money from that. I do keep some money from me when I’m coming here last year. But this time it will become more harder due to coronavirus. My childcare doesn’t need me at the moment and I only can stay at home and wait for this period pass. I understand that if we come in by student visa, we hav to prepare plenty of money for live. But we also need to concern about our tuition fee and our rent fee now. I’m not from rich family and I earn everything by myself. I don’t want to go back because I believe Australia can survive through this period too.
Anyway, without the job to support the live is getting harder now.
Please if governments can do anything for us. I will be really appreciate.

I know many temporary visa holders who have been financially impacted by the Corona Virus and Government measures that have been implemented to contain it. In particular, international students that previously worked whilst studying and paid income tax. In addition, international students contribute greatly to the Australian economy and this industry needs to be supported and maintained at this time.
