The Australian Council of Social Service is calling for the Federal Government to introduce plans to protect jobs and incomes during lockdowns.
ACOSS petitioned the government during this week's national cabinet meeting with concerns for the livelihoods of Victorians in lockdown.
The push for a plan comes after the Service's CEO Dr Cassandra Goldie said that a reinstated JobKeeper payment during extended lockdowns would ensure decent, timely income support for all who need it.
