          <by role="member" id="2742">The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:44):</by>  Certainly. There are two sets of payments which people may be eligible for. The Australian government, through Services Australia, is providing $1,500 for people who may need to isolate or who may need to care for somebody who needs to isolate. We have a separate payment, which is $300, to people who may not be eligible for that payment, and that includes international students and other workers. So that is more targeted towards people in that casual situation. There is extensive information on media tiles and on the website, and people do need to have been part of a declared cluster in order to be eligible.</text>
