Last year I visited a cafe in South Australia run by people on temporary protection visas (SHEVs). They employ Australian citizens.

How does JobKeeper affect businesses like theirs?

Under questioning in the @AuSenate - @MathiasCormann confirms:

Workers on TPVs & SHEVs don’t qualify for JobKeeper support.

But employers on TPVs & SHEVs can register their business for JobKeeper for their employees.

. @MathiasCormann says “all Australian businesses” are eligible to apply for the Government’s various COVID-19 stimulus’ packages — and the visa status of the business owner isn’t relevant.

In short - temporary protection visa holders can run an “Australian” business,
employ Australian citizens,
and get JobKeeper for their employees,

but can’t access any rights of Australian permanent residents, including JobSeeker, Coronavirus supplement, or JobKeeper.
