I have no idea as I haven't tried to do this before, there were times last year when it was suggested to me to try and see if we could get support but we were happy to make do as we reckon we could get through.
We have decided to pass this onto our accountant to check it out for us.
I have never tried to get handouts before as I prefer to leave it to people who really need it.
Update, so I have contacted our accountant and they had already started putting a claim in place for us, quite easy just had to supply a little info and should be getting just over $4000 into our account.

That should be very helpful to us and we have some work lined up for tomorrow and fingers crossed all next week.
Thanks to all, for your concern, I appreciate it!
Fantastic news. I hope it's enough to tide you and your family over until this passes.

Well done, Ken. We all need help to get through this madness.

Well, the Melbourne International Film Festival (first due to start last week, then delayed to this week) has been cancelled. 2021 is officially irredeemable, can get in the bin.
