JobKeeper was a wage subsidy program announced by the Morrison government in March 2020 just as the economy was effectively shut down to stop the spread of COVID-19. This was reduced to $1200 for full-time workers from September 2020 and to $1000 between January and March in 2021. The review, to be headed by former deputy Treasury secretary Nigel Ray, will examine the impact of JobKeeper on workers, businesses that received the payment, the job market and the broader economy. “The JobKeeper Evaluation will consider the objectives and design and effectiveness of JobKeeper. It will also record lessons learned from the design and implementation of JobKeeper, with a view to informing future policy responses,” the department said.
