Coronavirus, Support Payments

Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (14:10): My question is to the Premier. Will the Premier ensure that parents of children who have been asked to quarantine from affected schools will be eligible for COVID quarantine support payments?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:10): I don't have the detail of that, but what I can say is that we've got a generous regime in terms of compensating people who are adversely affected from the need to follow a direction to isolate. So it's a $1,500 payment there, and for those people who are required to undertake a test and, if you like, isolate whilst waiting for that result there is a $300 payment. I am happy to chase up that question. I think it is a very reasonable question and I will get back to the member.
