Australians who lose work due to Covid-19 lockdowns can now claim up to $600 a week after seven days.
Previously the Covid disaster payment allowed residents in a hotspot to claim $500 for each of the first two weeks and $600 from the third week of lockdown.
A $10,000 liquid assets test has been removed to allow anyone to access the payment regardless of how much they have saved.

Residents in a Commonwealth-defined hotspot who lose 20 hours a week can claim $600 and those who lose between eight and 20 hours
