(a) To whom were the grants paid?

(b) How much was each grant?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier): I have been advised:

In March 2020 in response to the impacts of COVID-19, the government announced the establishment of a $250 million Community and Jobs Support Fund. The government has subsequently added a further $15 million to the Fund, bringing the total value of the Community and Jobs Support Fund to $265 million.

The Budget Measures Statement (pages 8 and 9) released as part of the 2020-21 Budget outlined all of the approvals and expected timing of total payments from the Community and Jobs Support Fund.
