Tender ID: 533988
Tender Details
Tender Description
On 30 March 2023, as part of the Australian Government’s commitment to the ongoing COVID-19 response, the Government announced it will provide additional funding to support the aged care workforce who are unable to continue their care for older Australians due to COVID-19-related absences. The measure recognizes the ongoing vulnerability of older people and the inherent risks in providing care in residential aged care and home care settings.
Under this grant opportunity, Australian Government funded aged care providers, both residential and home care providers, will be able to apply for reimbursement of sick leave payments for directly employed permanent and casual workers, where the eligible employee is unable to attend work due to a COVID-19 infection and has insufficient sick leave.
