Im signing because I am on a working holiday visa and I am currently stuck in Australia with no means to get home to Canada for the next few months. Also, everyone is currently looking for a job and so they are impossible to find. I would have liked to do my farmwork but cannot find any right now. Coming from someone on a working holiday visa, we really need help.

I’m here in Australia on a working holiday, lost my job, my room mate has had to fly home due to a family member being very sick from the virus and I can’t afford to pay our rent. Have savings to cover food but nothing else couldn’t even fly home with how expensive the flights are. Please help everyone like me in this situation!

I am on dependent visa class 500. Doing driving taxi and Ubereats delivery. Now situation is horrible because almost no job. How to live here without a job. Minimum AUD 500 needs for meet weekly house rent and other expenses. I am also paying GST and other taxes. If government collecting tax and huge international student fees from us government is responsible for protect us in this hard situation.

I hold a bridging visa and am awaiting my visa application result. I have just been told to leave work due to corona virus and am very unsure of what will happen next. I plan on staying in Australia, I have been working, paying taxes, rent and being part of the economy and will need help to be able to sustain my family. We are a single income household as my fiance is not working due to caring for our 6 month old baby. We will not be able to afford to pay our rent in a couple of weeks.

I am an immigrant student from Brazil and due to the situation of COVID-19 I lost my job and I can't get another one. I need to pay my rent, school, electricity bills, gas and buy food. So far I have no support from the Australian government. I have always paid my bills in days and I expect support now in this difficult time for everyone. Thanks.

I am an international student , and have held down a job for 3 years since arriving in Australia. I pay taxes, and over 35k in student fees and now I am unemployed and can’t pay for rent, groceries, or college. We support Australia’s economy by being here and paying taxes and in times of need we deserve help from Australia as well.

Temporary visa holders as students, whv and 482 visa holder were largely contributing to the economic of Australia, working and paying taxes. Now they have been left without a job (in most cases from one day to another) and they need the support from the country. Visitor they just came to this beautiful country (also participating to the economy) and most probably they can't go back at the moment, not for their choice but for the circumstances..
One country, one soul, one human race, independently from the visa status..
Thank you Australia for helping ~

It’s hard to be a student at the same time working here in Australia, we don’t rely money from our family as we are already working here but due to the pandemic a lot has been abandoned including work places. At this time of crisis, I would like to feel the support from the government whom we also treated Australia like home.

I have lost my job due to the crisis after just finishing paying thousands of dollars for a visa I have no savings and I think after paying tax for 2 years I should be entitled to some help. All jobs have been made citizens only I would be happy to work.
