Westpac Supports JobKeeper Program

5 April 2020

Westpac Chief Executive Business, Guil Lima, says Westpac supports the JobKeeper program recently announced by the Government, believing this will provide a much needed boost for businesses to keep some people employed during this period.

 

“Cash flow is critical for businesses and to support existing customers to keep paying their employees, as they wait to receive the Government payments, we have a number of support measures currently available for eligible customers.

 

We will continue to work with our business customers as they navigate this period, and offer practical, meaningful support to help them where we can.”

 

Westpac encourages business impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 crisis to contact their Relationship Manager or visit Westpac’s business relief page.
