There is not a chance in hell the government would allow this. That $1500 a fortnight would instantly vanish the day you commence LWOP (including any further extension in some sort of potential Aviation keeper form)
You sure about that?

Unpaid leave
An eligible employee on authorised unpaid leave must receive at least the amount of the JobKeeper payment from their qualifying employer for the period they’re on unpaid leave, if they meet the eligibility conditions for the JobKeeper scheme.
HR even confirmed that you are entitled to JobKeeper whilst on LWOP. What HR did say is that they are not sure if it would continue with any extension to JobKeeper, or a new wage subsidy that the government brings in.
