Who the fund is for

The Worker and Wellbeing Fund can help you if you have lost your job or your income has been reduced because of coronavirus (COVID-19) and you are not already receiving financial and/or wellbeing support, including Centrelink benefits.

This fund is complementary to initiatives already announced by the Northern Territory (NT) and Australian Governments.

What it does

The Worker and Wellbeing Fund will:

• help people access wellbeing and other counselling or support services that are available
• help people navigate the welfare system and access income and any other financial support available
• help workers who have lost their job find new employment opportunities fast – such as guiding people to job matching services like the Territory Jobs Hub
• assist Territorians who require access to accommodation and other essentials.

Find out more about the Worker and Wellbeing Fund on the Department of the Chief Minister website.
