Looks like those who are stood down are about to be granted relief in the form of a government backed wage subsidy. Although no figures have been published this quote may be telling in how much of the wage will be subsidised:

Workers would receive a payment of 80 per cent of their current wages, capped at average weekly earnings, currently about $1660 for an adult working full-time and $670 part-time (approx $86k per year for full time workers).
