The Victorian Government is doubling an assistance payment for those experiencing significant financial hardship as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, as part of a $50 million program to make sure people are not falling through the cracks.
The Government has commissioned the Red Cross to provide financial assistance, information and referrals to those doing it tough during the pandemic who are not eligible for Commonwealth support or the International Student Emergency Relief Fund.
Beginning 10th March 2021, 1.00pm, the Brotherhood of St Laurence will be holding weekly information sessions for Extreme Hardship Support Program for all community organisations across the sector, including Ethno-specific, multifaith and other stake holders. These sessions will be in English, however if you have a group that requires an interpreter, interpreter sessions will be arranged.
