Coronavirus, Support Payments

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:46): Supplementary: can the minister confirm whether parents of children who have been asked to quarantine will be eligible for COVID quarantine support payments, given that the Services Australia information says that you must be caring for a child aged 16 or under who has COVID-19 or who has been in close contact? Will that still incorporate the parents of children where simply the whole school has been closed down?

The PRESIDENT: The minister has the call, but the Hon. the Deputy Leader is stretching the bounds of those supplementary questions. I ask the minister to respond.

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:47): I think the honourable member is asking me questions about a Services Australia payment, so I would direct her to Services Australia, which is the organisation responsible for administering those payments. My department is responsible for administering the particular DHS payment.
