1) Register with the Tasmanian government grant
The Tasmanian Government has announced support for temporary visa holders who are experiencing difficulties.
There are three types of assistance that will be made available to temporary visa holders:
* Pandemic Isolation Assistance Grants support/household/emergency-support-for-vulnerable-
tasmanians will be made available for those who can demonstrate genuine financial hardship as
a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
* Emergency relief and assistance will be provided through
partnered non-government organisations where required.
Details of this support and how to access it will be provided
on the Government website when available.
* Support to return to your country of origin. The nature of
support will be determined once we have a clear picture of
who needs help and where they are going. Anyone wanting
assistance to return to their country of origin must register
their interest by 5.00pm, 23 May 2020.
