Changes to the Employer Support Payment Scheme
From 1 Jan 2019, applications for payment under the ESPS must be lodged online using the Online Claim System. All paper claims received after 31 Dec 2018 will not be processed.
To lodge an ESPS claim online, a claimant’s business is required to have a valid AUSkey or myGov account (linked to a valid ABN).
- Individuals, sole traders and small businesses (less than 10 employees) need to register via myGov (linked to a valid ABN) at https://my.gov.au/ or contact 132307.
- All other users need to register with AUSkey at https://abr.gov.au/AUSkey/ or contact 1300 287 539.
For queries relating to AUSkey or myGov contact 1300 AUSkey (1300 287 539) or 132307 respectively.
